Full description:
We want to understand why some people can improve or reverse Type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes while others cannot. The study was co-developed with someone living with Type 2 diabetes and invites patients, carers and the public to shape the research so it reflects real-life cultures, families and food practices. Your lived experience of diabetes will help refine questions, focus on daily priorities, improve study design and guide more personalised care.
