Hi Rene

This is a great question. I was understandably disappointed to have to limit it to type 2 as I am Type 1. The reason is that stigma is a very new subject in diabetes and the scale for type 1 is still in development by the same company in Aus who developed the Type 2 scale that I have used in this study. To my knowledge I am the first to research stigma related to diabetes in the UK. Who knows, maybe after I finish this thesis I can look at doing something with Type 1, that's if the scale is done by then.
