Type 1 diabetes and nutrition

Aim of the study:

This study survey has been developed to investigate physical activity, dietary patterns and the use of dietary supplements in people with type 1 diabetes and to help understand where more knowledge in these areas would be beneficial. Along with some specific questions regarding you, your physical activity levels and diet, we are also interested in the lived experience of people with type 1 diabetes and any input you can give us about how you view or use dietary supplements and dietary protein.

Who can take part?

• People who are 18 years and over
• People living with type 1 diabetes
• People who are living in Australia.

What does my participation involve?

You will just be asked to complete a survey which contains up to 49 questions and should take up to 20 minutes to complete.
You will be asked to answer the questions in the survey to the best of your ability. If you cannot finish, but still wish your data to be included, please keep clicking the next arrow till you get to the submit button.

The survey will collect information about general demographic information, basic dietary information, exercise and your use of dietary supplements (how, when and why you use them and your understanding of how they affect your blood glucose levels).

Your input will help us shape future education regarding diet and exercise recommendations and supplement use for adults with type 1 diabetes.
