Help BEAT Diabetes
Do you have diabetes? Are you interested in research?
The number of people diagnosed with diabetes is continually rising. In Greater Manchester there are almost 150 000 people diagnosed with diabetes.
If not well controlled, diabetes can cause serious health complications such as heart and kidney disease, stroke and amputation. It is only possible to better understand diabetes and bring about improvements in its prevention, treatment and care through research.
It might sound obvious, but diabetes research can only take place with the help of people who have the condition. The ‘Help BEAT Diabetes’ campaign running across Greater Manchester encourages those living with diabetes to get involved with a wide range of NHS research opportunities in their local area.
Research for the Future is an NHS supported campaign that helps people find out about and take part in health and care research. Getting involved in research means you are helping to discover new ways to prevent, diagnose and manage illnesses.
Everyone is welcome to register with Research for the Future, whether you have a health condition or not. The only requirement is that you must live in England and be 18 years or over. Registering means we will inform you about research opportunities you may wish to take part in.
We offer opportunities to get involved in research across all health conditions as well for healthy volunteers.
