Hello everyone,
I am a student from University of Nottingham, UK, and I am conducting
a research on one of my biggest fields of interest : diabetes. In 2006
I spent a year working in Canada in a diabetes health education team,
within a diabetes unit care in one of the main hospitals. I loved my
work, found it very rewarding and saw the benefits of knowledge
sharing and information giving when it comes to diabetes management. I
was also very touched by every person’s story and was observed just
how important it was for everyone to meet other people going through
the same challenges, exchanging thoughts and feelings about it, and
helping each other find solution. This led me to become very
interested in the role of social support in disease management. This
research I am leading now as part of my MSc in Health Promotion and
Psychology is about the importance and the influence that online
social support can have on diabetes management. I have designed a
survey and the Internet link to it is the following:

Please feel free to check it out and ask me any questions that you
would like to ask me
And please feel free to pass on this link to any person you may know
might want to fill it in! I would be very grateful.
