Where possible, please do offer your support and experiences of having a child diagnosed. https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/forums/screening-for-type-1-community-chat.59/

Thanks so much for your support and interest in the discussion groups we held to inform the ARCHIE (The early use of Antibiotics in ?at Risk? CHildren with InfluEnza) Trial.

Researchers based at the University of Oxford would now like to interview parents of children aged between 6 months and 12 years who have diabetes about their experiences and treatment needs when their child falls ill with a flu-like illness. Interviews are being held across England at a time and place most convenient to parents (individuals or couples). The interviews will contribute towards a peer support and information site on www.healthtalkonline.org to help other parents cope and health professionals to improve their services.

For more information contact Ulla Raisanen on 01865 289328; ulla.raisanen@phc.ox.ac.uk.
