Want to take part in clinical trials?
People with diabetes are often interested to be involved in research trials, according to the patient organization UK Diabetes. Therefore, the Diabetes Research Network (DRN) announced an initiative which shall help diabetics to play a greater role in research.
People might want to take part in a clinical trial, or are interested in becoming involved in making sure that trials and research reflect the needs and views of people with diabetes.
Get involved with research
The DRN is also looking for patient advocates - these are people who are affected by diabetes and who can share their experiences and perspectives on living with the condition with research advisory groups. The only expertise you need is knowing what it's like to live with diabetes. You can find out more about these options by visiting our website or by calling the DRN directly on 0207 594 1796.
If you want to see and hear some of the DRN's funded researchers talking about the processes involved in clinical research into diabetes, visit the Diabetes Research Networking website to find videos of participants and researchers involved in some of the DRN's studies.
