Guest, the forum is undergoing some upgrades and so the usual themes will be unavailable for a few days. In the meantime, you can use the forum like normal. We'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the 2025 Survey »
I'm a Doctoral Researcher from Loughborough University. I am currently conducting a study on users' experiences with diabetes websites in the UK. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Loughborough University and Diabetes.co.uk.
I would like to invite you to attend an online interview if you:
1) are over the age of 18;
2) have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
4) are British or have resided in the UK for more than 10 years.
To thank you for your time, you will receive a £15 Amazon voucher as appreciation.
Your contribution will help us better understand the needs and experiences of UK individuals with diabetes when navigating diabetes-related websites. If you have any questions or need more information about this study, please feel free to contact me at: z.xie@lboro.ac.uk
Thank you for considering participating in this study.
Best wishes,
Zijie

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I've shared my recruitment information in a diabetes-related Facebook group. However, many groups restrict researchers from joining or posting such ads, which is understandable.
I still need 10 participants with Type 1 diabetes and 8 participants with Type 2 diabetes. I would highly appreciate it if anyone could participate in my online interview. I really really really need your help.
I am also recruiting for a project and wondered if you'd shared your project over on Twitter? I wonder if this would help with recruitment. Best wishes with the research.

Hi @Diabetes&Compassion, are you referring to my personal Twitter account? I shared it, but it didn't work well as I only have a few followers. Do you have any suggestions?
If you're happy to tag me on twitter (@diabcompassion) I could give it an RT. I don't have a huge amount of followers however, I set this account up for my research project and I hope I can help share the research
