Bristol Researchers need volunteers to help COVID-19 infection and vaccination study in people with and without diabetes. 

Over the last year we have had a huge response from people helping us to optimise our COVID-19 laboratory assay. This has been very successful and means that we now have an extremely accurate COVID-19 antibody test. Thank you to everyone who helped with this - we are truly grateful.

• We will use this test to study as many people with diabetes (any type of diabetes) as possible to understand more about the immune effects of COVID-19.
• We welcome samples from people without diabetes also as a comparison group in this study.
• We will ask everyone who takes part their experiences of COVID-19.

In this study, it does not matter if you have or have not had COVID-19 (or you don’t know) or if you have received a COVID-19 vaccination, we would like everyone aged 18 or over to help.
