Hi r/diabetes! I am a researcher in NYC, and my lab is doing a wave of new studies for type 2 diabetes. One is with a mobile application for managing medication and blood glucose levels, so naturally I wanted to get people like you who already value tech involved early on. If you're in the New York metro area, we'd love to have you join the study - and you'd get $150 as a thank you (staggered over 2-3 hour-long visits) for your participation.
This research is important because many diabetes apps and devices don't go directly to people with diabetes for their input before they've already been built out, and by then it's too late to incorporate their feedback. This is an opportunity to amplify your voice as a person who has the lived expertise of diabetes, and to use a pretty cool app :)
You may be eligible to participate, if you
-
Have type 2 diabetes
-
Own an iOS or Android smart phone
-

-
Regularly take insulin by injection
-
Are over the age of 18
