We have a young people’s advisory group. Most of the children and young people in this group have diabetes, or have siblings with diabetes, and are from diverse backgrounds including ethnic minority backgrounds and economically deprived places.
Our advisory group supports our research in lots of ways, including the development of the questions this study is asking, the way the study is being done, and the intervention co-design process. In particular, the advisory group takes an interest in all aspects of the study that might impact on children and young people with diabetes and their families from diverse backgrounds.
