• Research summary

  The My Diabetes and Me RCT is testing a structured education programme called Desmond-ID which has been designed for people with intellectual disability and Type 2 Diabetes. As part of that study a process evaluation has been carried out with staff delivering the programme and participants randomised to the intervention (Desmond-ID). In order to be as inclusive as possible, we now wish to seek the views of family/paid carers from three of the study sites who supported those participants during the RCT to understand their experiences.
