SURVEY RESPONDENT REQUEST
We are asking that people living with Type
2 diabetes who are on insulin take part in
this survey hosted by Opinion Health. For
those who go all the way through, there
will be a £10 Amazon voucher. However,
please note that the survey uses a process
of questions that are designed to select
certain medications and how they are
taken, which may mean you do not qualify,
in which case there will be no voucher.
This is a multi-country study designed to
better understand current treatments for
diabetes and how well diabetes control is
managed by taking insulin injections. The
study involves a 15-minute online survey
that can be accessed in total anonymity.
