  Overall, how likely are you to participate in a diabetes research opportunity in the next 12 months?
  The limiting factor now is my age, many studies don't accept people over 65.

  Due to a lot of age limits there are rarely any for over age 70 with long term diabetes

  Same here. I fill out the qualifying surveys and either age out or my A1C/TIR shows good T1D management on my part.

  If they accept me sure, but most time they want uncontrolled diabetics to prove their product works.

  Like Daniel, my age and the fact I live in a rural area preclude my participation.

  I put unlikely. I would be happy to participate but my location and age seem to exclude me.

  I would love to participate in diabetes research. I have done several studies previously. Sadly, at this point my age (63) and (my location NYS, near the Canadian border) make the opportunities few.
