Discover is a register of adults living in North West London who are interested in and want to find out more about health research opportunities. The register is for both healthy people and those with a medical condition. Research could relate to any condition, including diabetes, and can range from answering surveys to having your blood tested, to testing new medical devices or phone apps, and participating in clinical trials.

Researchers at the University of Oxford would like to recruit people aged 18 or over who have recently been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and are not being considered for surgery to take part in a research study. The study is part of a research programme to find out whether an injection of a treatment called adalimumab can reduce pain and improve function in people with frozen shoulder, if given during the early painful phase.

People with diabetes aged 18+ can register their details with Research for the Future to receive information about local NHS diabetes research opportunities. It’s free to join and doesn’t commit you to take part in any studies. 

Researchers across the country are looking for people living with diabetes to take part in their research. Meanwhile, people with diabetes are also looking for projects to take part in, but it can be difficult to find a match. That’s where the British Research Panel comes in: matching scientists to people with diabetes. It’s free to join and doesn’t commit you to take part in any studies. They’ll let you know when a relevant clinical trial is happening close to where you live.

Researchers at University Hospitals Dorset and Bournemouth University would like to recruit people aged over 18 living with any type of diabetes to take part in a study that is testing a newly developed device that checks the feeling in your feet.

The study involves attending a single one hour clinic visit where your feet will be tested by a health care professional and you will be able to try the new device for yourself. You will also be asked to complete some short questionnaires.

Researchers at Imperial College would like to recruit healthcare professionals who care for people with diabetic neuropathy to take part in a survey, aiming to understand how healthcare professionals across the UK manage neuropathy in their clinical practice.

Researchers at University of Exeter would like to recruit people over the age of 18, living with type 2 diabetes, who have had an appointment (face-to-face, online or by telephone) with a GP or nurse in the last six months and can remember their visit. The aim of the research is to investigate the way people living with specific health conditions (or a mix of health conditions) and GPs and nurses check their symptoms and investigate further if there's a chance they might be diagnosed with cancer.

An international group of diabetes researchers and clinicians have established a global database of new cases of diabetes in patients with Covid-19 – called the CoviDiab Registry Project. It comes off the back of initial observations that Covid-19 could potentially trigger diabetes and the urgent need to know more.  

Researchers at King’s College London are recruiting adults living with diabetes to take part in a survey that's looking at dietary preferences and the perception of foods containing legumes and pulses.

The researchers hope to use insights from their study to develop new foods that help people with diabetes to manage blood sugar levels after a meal.

Researchers at Newcastle University would like to recruit people aged 18 years and older, with type 2 diabetes, living in the North East of England to take part in a study that aims to find out what makes self-management of type 2 diabetes challenging and what helps.
