My name is Lorna Rouse and I am a PhD student with the Open University. My PhD project aims to improve understanding of the experience of primary care diabetes appointments for adults with learning disabilities. Although diabetes is more prevalent in people with learning disabilities, currently very little is known about the experience and views of people with learning disabilities on their diabetes care.
As part of my project I am looking for adults with learning disabilities and type 1 or type 2 diabetes to take part in a one-to-one interview with me.

This months topic for our Down2Earth meeting was 'Housing' and 'Where we live'.
We had a discussion and filled out a questionnaire about where members lived, if they chose where they lived, who they lived with and whether they wanted to change where they lived. A lot of people are very happy living with their families and some people live with friends and housemates in supported living where they enjoy independence.
