A new service has been launched on the Diabetes UK website to help people with diabetes get involved in research.
By participating in a clinical study or trial, volunteers play an important part in helping to prevent diabetes, develop new and better treatments, or even one day find a cure. There is now a dedicated page on the Diabetes UK website listing opportunities for people to volunteer for specific research trials.
Diabetes UK makes sure that all of the studies align with Diabetes UK’s mission and have the correct ethical approvals in place.
Visit the Diabetes UK website section on research trial opportunities for more information.
People with diabetes can also go to the Diabetes Research Network (DRN) to register their interest in becoming involved in a clinical study or trial. The DRN will then get in touch when any relevant trials are recruiting for participants.
