[QUOTE="simonjrp, post: 1338053, member: 355635"] We do have fully specified hypotheses. I just haven't specified it fully here because I don't want to "give away" a complete MSc. thesis idea. The point is that we are going to do research that could help in the treatment of diabetes, and the more patients we can generalise our models to, the better. The research can't do any harm to anyone, and considering the sheer amount of people that have this disease, any kind of improvement (however small it might be) must be worth investigating. That's my opinion, and if anyone feels the same and have data they are willing to share, that's great. If not, we'll just have a less generalised, but hopefully still meaningful model. If someone feels that they need to know a bit more about this before they give a way their data, that's [I]very[/I] understandable. I know I would. And of course we will elaborate on the details for those who are interested, but preferably in a private conversation. As for the handling of anonymised data I have a hard time seeing how glucose value readings that aren't possible to connect to any person whatsoever can do any harm. But maybe I'm missing something obvious. If someone has privacy concerns we could probably construct some kind of privacy statement together that both parties agree on. The question here is just "are you interested?". If the answer to that question is [I]yes[/I], reach out to me in a pm and we'll take it from there. [/QUOTE]
