Huge Congratulations to our NI Clinical Research network Diabetes Team in NHSCT. The team have recruited their 12th patient to the Address 2 study making them the highest recruiter to date. ADDRESS 2 is the After Diabetes Diagnosis Research Support System which supports research for Type 1 Diabetes.

The study supports research for people with Type 1 diabetes in 4 main ways:

• Help people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who are interested in getting involved in research find opportunities to do so
• Securely and anonymously collect data and blood samples to help scientists to better understand type 1 diabetes
• Work alongside other initiatives set up to improve and support type 1 diabetes research, to ensure it has the most impact
• Support researchers running suitable clinical trials to get in touch with people who might want to take part
