Hello everyone 🙂

I'm conducting a short multiple choice questionnaire for my postgraduate research, in MSc Health Psychology at Nottingham University. The questionnaire is based upon experiences and emotions of pregnant women with pre-existing diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2). The study has been reviewed and given a favourable opinion by the Institute of Work Health & Organisations Research Ethics Committee (Nottingham University).

You may participate in the questionnaire if you are currently pregnant and living in the UK:

1. Diabetics - Type 1 Click here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YR83NT6

2. Diabetics - Type 2 click here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YRDHGPS

All respondents will be given the option of entering a prize draw for a chance to win one of three ?20 gift vouchers for Mothercare/Early Learning Centre; winners will be selected at the end of the study (September/October 2012).

If you have any questions, queries or concerns regarding the study, please contact me (contact information can be found in the links above).

I would really appreciate your help!

*Feel free to pass on the links to pregnant friends etc. 🙂

Thanks,
Rachael

I'm finding it really hard getting diabetic responses, still need your help please guys 🙂
Unfortunately, I think I'm not eligible otherwise I'd be happy to help :D😉
 
I don't think there are loads of diabetics who are pregnant at the moment. There's only ever a handful on here who are at one time.

Hope you get a few more 🙂
 
thanks 🙂 I'm finding it super difficult to recruit diabetics for my study 😱/

I seem to remember someone mentioning another forum that was primarily a pregnancy/parenting forum, but with a section for mothers with diabetes. I'm afraid I don't remember the name of it, but if you google about you might find it, or perhaps someone here will remember it? You might get some more participants there 🙂

I'm afraid part of the problem might be that, as diabetes (all types) is quite common, and often associated with depression (as many chronic diseases are) then it is a very popular topic for student papers and theses. Perhaps those fitting the criteria don't feel like repeating themselves time and again. This isn't a criticism of your efforts Rachael, just an observation. Perhaps I should do a survey to find out! 😉
