In need of T1D parents with children who use the Omnipod 5 and play sports – please fill out my quick survey!

Hi T1D parents,

My name is Taylor, and I am a senior in high school conducting an AP Research project examining how the Omnipod 5 influences parents’ confidence and anxiety in their type 1 diabetic child’s participation in sports. I wanted to post about this on here because I am really struggling to find participants to fill out a quick survey, and I thought I could find some parents on here who are willing to help. I have reached out to many different organizations (CHOA, Camp Kudzu, Children with Diabetes, and more), but no one has been able to work with me due to company policies and age restrictions, so I would really appreciate your participation!

I am looking for parents with K-12 type 1 diabetic children who use the Omnipod 5 and participate in any sport. The survey is completely anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete.

As a type 1 diabetic myself who was diagnosed at 3 years old and has experienced diabetes with and without technology throughout years of playing sports, this research is very important to me, and your participation would make a big difference in helping me - and others in the diabetes research community - better understand how technology affects parental experiences. I have linked the survey below, so if you have a few minutes and fit the requirements, please fill it out.

Just a thought on the study, you have an opportunity to look at data from the sport player as well as from a parent, if you are looking for first-person experiences you could expand the questionnaire. I was diagnosed when I was 12, while my parents made some early decisions for me, high school sports decisions were all mine. Good luck. :shamrock:
