Quality of Life for People Living with Diabetes - Results from Survey and Lab
Started Nov. 19, 2024
Abstract or project description
Mahita is pursuing both laboratory and survey elements to characterize quality of life for people living with diabetes. For her survey, she has ~8 questions, including multiple-choice and open-ended responses, from which she will gather qualitative and quantitative data about how people living with diabetes characterize their quality of life before and after their diagnosis. Her lab is designed to compare people with and without diabetes (low glucose and high glucose conditions) and also low and high stress conditions (using vinegar or none). She will compare these four conditions with glucose test strips in each solution. Using both the survey and lab results, she expects to paint a strong picture of what quality of life is like for people living with diabetes.
