@diabeticswithed Just wondering if you can direct me to published research making the case for "diabulimia" to be recognised as a separate eating disorder? I've seen Allan & Nash (2014, I believe), and am looking for any more 🙂

Thank you SO much to everyone who took part in my study! Happy to say I exceeded my participant goal and recruitment is now CLOSED. Data analysis is underway 😊.

I am still recruiting parents of children who have been diagnosed with a brain tumour to take part in an online study-please see details below. The link to the survey is: uea.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/post-traumatic… Thanks so much to everyone for your help so far. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

@simon_pridmore Hi Simon, that’s a really good question! Having thought about it, I would say yes, given that you are at the point of insulin treatment. Thank you so much for your interest!

@vmatthews_uea @DrAliLumb @UEAResearch @uniofeastanglia @DUK_research @parthaskar Hi, I'm insulin treated LADA. Is this of interest in the study?

Final recruitment push! All RTs greatly appreciated 😀. Seeking respondents aged 18+ who have #type1diabetes and live in the #UK for an online questionnaire for my doctoral thesis: uea.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/insulin-and-ea… #T1D #GBDoc @UEAResearch @uniofeastanglia @DUK_research @parthaskar

@organiclemon Hi Fenella, you did ask before! It’s because people with type II diabetes still produce some insulin naturally and that has an impact on the effect of missing an insulin dose.

@vmatthews_uea @UEAResearch @uniofeastanglia @DUK_research @parthaskar I’m sure I asked before so apologies for asking again why are you excluding Type II on insulin with history of eating disorders?

@KevWilson7 @parthaskar @UEAResearch @uniofeastanglia @DUK_research Hi Kev, thanks for filling it in! You can email me at v.matthews@uea.ac.uk

@vmatthews_uea @parthaskar @UEAResearch @uniofeastanglia @DUK_research I've filled this in but also tried to email the creator but I'm getting an invalid email address.

@ithinkwellHugh @BPSOfficial @Briony_Westgate this might be useful? The correct link is in the replies (posted by WeekendArchaeologist 👌)

Please consider passing this on to anyone who might be interested! It's a really interesting and important study about post-traumatic stress in parents of children who have had brain tumours. Thanks! twitter.com/Briony_Westgat…

@withyouinmind_ @Nigelrefowens Thank you! If you like, send an email to me at v.matthews@uea.ac.uk and I’ll send you an overview of the results directly when they’re ready 😊

@vmatthews_uea @Nigelrefowens It will be amazing to see the results! I’m an aspiring CP and hope to be a trainee some day but currently working on a paediatric Ward for T1 and your research is so interesting! Adherence is so important and this is needed! Good luck 😬

@Nigelrefowens Hi Nigel, I'm a trainee clinical psychologist researching reasons that insulin adherence can be difficult for people with #type1diabetes. Could you RT my study? It's an online study open to adults (18+) with #T1D living in the #UK 😀. uea.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/insulin-and-ea…

@withyouinmind_ @Nigelrefowens Absolutely, anyone who completes the survey has an option to enter an email address for an overview of results to be sent to them. I’ll put a link on twitter too 😊. Aiming for publication also!

@vmatthews_uea @Nigelrefowens Will these results be shared?! I’m very keen to know what you find out!!

@fliss_r @Anniecoops @CYPDiabNetwork @BPSOfficial @ACDC_UK @BlueCircleCDF Absolutely, and certainly in populations who are unlikely to find the supports through their usual lives (eg older people who may not frequently access the Internet, people in remote locations, etc).

Still recruiting! All RTs greatly appreciated 😀. Seeking respondents aged 18+ who have #type1diabetes and live in the #UK for an online questionnaire for my doctoral thesis: uea.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/insulin-and-ea… #T1D #GBDoc @CYPDiabNetwork @BPSOfficial @ACDC_UK @BlueCircleCDF @Anniecoops
