Have you felt the impact of diabetes stigma?

Researchers at Imperial College, London are recruiting adults with Type 1 diabetes to a study aimed at better understanding the impact day-to-day stigma can have on our management and experience of diabetes.

Diabetes stigma is a serious issue that can significantly affect both the physical and mental health of people living with Type 1 diabetes. By understanding the roots and impact of this stigma and how it changes over time, the researchers hope to develop new ways to understand, manage and address it and to develop better support for others in similar situations.

Those who choose to take part will be asked to complete a consent form and a brief survey either online or via postal forms. Additionally, people can opt to join online design or focus groups to discuss the nature of Type 1 diabetes stigma.

For more information about the study and what participation involves, please refer to the Participant Information Sheet.
