G'day Terry

You've had some excellent replies, so I'll just offer a
couple of links for some light reading. I wrote these just

It's a myth that all T2's are significantly overweight. My weight is where
it should be.

  Diabetes research project help needed         


Author: paul.swinburn

Hi there,

I am writing on behalf of Oxford Outcomes, a research company that is
embarking on a project looking at the life experiences of people with
type 1 diabetes in the UK. We have consulted with medical experts and
conducted a review of academic literature in the area and now wish to
get first hand accounts from individuals with experience of the
condition.

At present, we are looking to speak to a couple of parents of
teenagers with type 1 diabetes and a couple of parents of children
(aged 8-12) with diabetes. We would like to hold interviews lasting
between 25 and 45 minutes by telephone, and would be willing to
compensate people for their time (or make a similar donation to your
organization). If you think this sounds like something your members
would be interested in, then please forward my email address (or they
can speak to me directly on 01865 324930).

Thanks for your time.

Paul
