New Survey Study for People with T1DM!

[Rujiravee]

What sort of shop is Live2Shop? I don't want a voucher I find I cannot spend. One survey company sent me a £25 one which I never used as the offerings were online tat

I assume it is Love2shop which Google found very easily https://www.love2shop.co.uk/
But I don’t intend to take it. It is not my motivation for supporting these types of research, especially as it costs me nothing and only takes a few minutes.

Hi,

Thank you for your contribution to our research study.
We really appreciate your input and motivation in supporting our research. Our survey takes a lot of effort to complete, and we truly respect our participants' time. So, we would love to show our gratitude to all participants by giving a small compensation.

We are planning to run more diabetes-related research projects in our group with the main aim of helping improve the quality of life of people with T1DM. If you are interested in participating in our upcoming projects or have any questions, please feel free to email us at diabetes@manchester.ac.uk

Best regards,
Vee.

Done!
Yes, I too found it interesting. I think many members of this forum are sufficiently clued up about their diabetes and the ways in which CGM can exaggerate or create erroneous results, to not need any on screen prompts, but I am not sure we are exactly representative of the general population of Type 1s. Certainly many people coming to the forum do not know about compression lows or the algorithm over egging things sometimes 🙄

I think the prompt screens could be helpful for many people although I had great difficulty reading the small print even on a desk top and it needs to be said that there are quite a few diabetics who are visually challenged often as a result of the condition.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your contribution and suggestion.
We would like to assure you that the findings of this research will be used with the main aim of minimising the burden of blood glucose data interpretation for people with T1DM, regardless of their experience living with T1DM. Moreover, the survey form is algorithmically programmed in a randomised controlled manner. Therefore, some participants might see different sets of visualisations. We apologise that we cannot expose more information regarding the study design as it will create potential biases that could affect the result analysis.

We really appreciate your effort and generous intention to support the T1DM community. We are planning to run more diabetes-related research projects in our group with the main aim of helping improve the quality of life of people with T1DM in various aspects. If you are interested in participating in our upcoming projects or have any questions, please feel free to email us at diabetes@manchester.ac.uk

Best regards,
Vee.

Hi,

Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. We cannot emphasise our gratitude enough for these very kind gestures.

We would like to inform you that the results of this study will be served as a foundation for developing a solution to help people with T1DM in interpreting and actioning based on their blood glucose data.

In this current study, we accept a limited number of participants. However, we are running several more projects to help people with T1DM in various aspects, which will be continued by our enthusiastic PhD students. If you are interested in participating in our upcoming projects or have any questions, please feel free to email us at diabetes@manchester.ac.uk and I will hand over your email to my colleagues.

Best regards,
Vee.

Just done your survey. What you propose is some sort of instructional pop up within the app giving “text book directives.” A little like the “training wheels program” on a Spider-Man suit? I hope there is the option in librelink to turn that function off. ✌️
