- develop better ways to prevent cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes
How you can get involved
We’re always looking for people to take part in our activities in the eastern region – from filling in questionnaires to taking part in clinical trials.
If you’re interested in finding out more about what happens during research studies and clinical trials, please visit www.diabetesresearchnetworking.org 
, which has video clips of participants and researchers talking about their experiences.
If you’d like to get involved with the work of the DRN please fill in the online registration form. We will then contact you when opportunities arise to be part of a DRN study or get involved in the work of the network.
Alternatively you can ask your GP, consultant or nurse what diabetes studies you could get involved in.
