Invitation to participate in Type 1 Diabetes research - The EAT Study

[Altamash]

Inviting South Asian Individuals in the UK!

We need your support! Our study, “Expected Eating Habits of Type 1 Diabetic South Asian Patients with Prospective Use of Hybrid Closed Loop (Artificial Pancreas) - The EAT Study”, is seeking participants. If you’re an adult of South Asian origin, we’d love for you to join us.

Why Participate?

• We invite you to share your thoughts and expectations about a new treatment for Type 1 Diabetes, known as the Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) system. We are particularly interested in understanding how you think this treatment might impact your eating habits and food choices if prescribed in the future.
• By participating, you will help us gain valuable insights into the anticipated eating habits and food choices of the South Asian population with the prospective use of HCL. This knowledge will enhance diabetes care in clinical practice, raise awareness of potential challenges, and aid in finding necessary solutions to improve treatment outcomes. Your input is crucial for shaping better diabetes care and support for the community.

Eligibility:

• 18 years or older
• Living with Type 1 Diabetes
• South Asian (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka)

Participation Details:

• One interview session (about 1 hour) to discuss your dietary expectations if prescribed with the HCL technology.
• Interviews can be conducted at a convenient location or virtually.

Interested? Please contact me via email at Altamash.Shaikh@city.ac.uk for more details or to participate! Also, see the attached flyer for more details.

I would greatly appreciate your support in recruiting participants. If you are interested in participating or know someone who might be, your assistance would be invaluable.

Thank you for your willingness to contribute to this research!
