Dear all,
My name is Mahamed Diriye. I am currently a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Psychology & an affiliate member of the University of East London Chronic Illness research team. The purpose of this team is to carry out research into many different conditions & illnesses that are not visible to anyone else, but may cause pain & discomfort . We look at the ways in which the illness or disease affects the lives of the people who suffer from these wide range of conditions. We look into the factors that may contribute to the illness, the effects that they have on the individual with the illness or condition & how they may be tackled.
Me & 2 of my colleagues are currently engaged in & conducting a 3rd year research project on type 1 diabetes as all 3 of us have a particular interest in diabetes as we each know people affected by the condition.
The purpose of our study is to assess the relation of certain psychosocial aspects in type 1 diabetic individuals. What we refer to when we say “psychosocial aspects”, are aspects of a person & of life that may influence other aspects. Another definition may be the numerous psychological & social aspects of life that influence a person’s ability to manage daily functioning. Things like a persons’ relationships with others or hostility (social) & self-confidence/ self-esteem (from your psyche – the mind). The psychosocial aspects we are looking to study are: social support, illness intrusiveness, memory lapses & depression & anxiety. The study aims to discover how these ;

His interest in this topic stems from his own diagnosis with type 1 diabetes in 2008 at the age of 22.
As part of his data collection he has ;

Hi @emilya. I’m not sure how many young types of 16-25 we have amongst us older 30 plus types, but hopefully any we have will give it a try for you.

Thank you Alison! Sorry about the age restriction of participants, this project focus is on those in transition and early adult care, but if anyone knows anyone who is in that age group you are welcome to let them know about it!
Thank you again,

Feels old & grumpy!
I think you’ll find us 30+ types have money to spend on apps.

Hi everyone 🙂
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me- I am a 24 year old type 1 diabetic, currently conducting some unpaid health psychology research regarding diabetes at Northumbria University. The research has been granted full ethical approval, and further information is given at the start of the survey. All information provided by participants will be kept strictly confidential, and only accessible by myself or my research supervisor.
I am looking for participants with diabetes- no matter whether type 1, type 2 or any other- who are over 18, to complete an online survey in order to hopefully highlight the need for better psychological support for individuals with diabetes. The survey will assess your personality, your satisfaction with your doctor, your perceieved quality of life since being diagnosed with diabetes and your adherence to treatment and hopes to then be able to accurately evaluate the significance of psychological ;

And me…
Although it’d be really interesting to see if my wife agrees with the personality traits I filled in!
When I filled the survey in I based it on my hospital care, the answers would be different for my GP so if you want the GP results let me know.

Hello you lovely people
I was wondering if I might be able to speak to any of you for 10-15 minutes for a bit of diabetes research I am undertaking? The context to this request: I have worked in healthcare for a while and got quite frustrated with the buzzwords we often hear in the NHS – patient-centred care, patient empowerment etc. I feel passionately about how end service users – like ourselves – should be involved in any healthcare decision-making. I left my role to explore new ways of how people can be placed at the heart of healthcare delivery, especially around how technology can be used to connect people. You are all already on this journey through the use of this online community so I was keen to speak with you.
I am in the process of speaking to a number of people with diabetes, charities and healthcare organisations. I would love to have a quick chat to better understand the impact of diabetes on your daily life and what services you feel are currently missing in your local areas. Please drop me a line at hzaman3@googlemail.com if you are up for a brief chat! Many thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I am a post graduate student at Goldsmiths in London writing my dissertation about Diabetics and wearable technology/medical apps. Essentially, my study is about cultural anthropology/sociology and why consumers make the choices they do (in this case why someone would use Telehealth or not). If you are interesting in taking part, I would be extremely interested in having a 30-45 minutes interview with you. This can take place over the phone and I will not need any personal information regarding your medical history etc, although all information given will be made anonymous. I am particularly interested in speaking to people in their 30s – 70s.
Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Alison
