COVID-19 Experiences in People with Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of the research is to understand the experiences of people with type 2 diabetes who have had COVID-19.

This includes understanding your:

  • Experience during the first four weeks of your COVID-19 illness
  • Any symptoms you are currently experiencing, and
  • How these persistent symptoms have impacted you

 

Why is the research being done?

We want to better understand the experiences of people with type 2 diabetes who have had COVID-19, and what healthcare, information and support may be needed to help people manage ongoing symptoms.

 

Who can participate in the research study/trial?

We are seeking Australians with type 2 diabetes over the age of 18 who have had COVID-19 more than 12 weeks ago.

 

What will study participants be asked to do? What does the study involve?

This study involves completing this one-off online survey. It is estimated that this survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete.

You will be asked to provide information about:

  • the types of symptoms you experienced and their impact on your health (e.g., type 2 diabetes management)
  • your ability to perform activities of daily living (e.g., work/study, household chores)
  • your participation in exercise

At the end of the survey, you can enter the draw to win one of ten $50 gift cards.
