IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS


With the help of the internet and the Lambeth & Southwark Diabetes UK Group, I finally got patients who would like to participate in my project from USA/Russia/Arabia/Chinese family. My sample includes 3 Type one diabetes patients, 11 Type two diabetes patients and  4 people who are in diabetes family.
