As a person living with diabetes for over 30 years and researcher at the University of Cambridge where I work on Desirable Digitisation, I am excited to invite participants (people living with diabetes in the UK) to take part in focus groups to talk about your experience of carbohydrate tracking technology, and if we - the people concerned - could imagine something better. Myself and a colleague from the University of Sheffield have been continually frustrated by the apps available to us for cabohydrate tracking and how this part of diabetes mangement is still really burdensome - so we have undertaken a study to actually talk to people living with diabetes from across the UK to ask what we would like to see - what features would make our lives easier, and what is just not helpful? If you are interested in sharing your views and experience of food tracking technology please fill out the expression of interest linked in the poster below - and we'll get back to you asap!
If QR codes aren't your thing, a link to the expression of interest survey is below, and includes detials of our researhcer contact emails if you have any further questions!
