The 2010 audit of diabetes research activity shows an annual increase for the third consecutive year in both numbers of studies and participants. The increase in numbers of commercial studies is particularly heartening as it is widely reported in the media that the pharmaceutical industry is leaving the UK to carry out its research abroad. Our data shows that this particular statistic is not true for diabetes research in Scotland. The small increase in funding of academic studies probably mirrors charity funding and is reflective of the economic recession.
Participant numbers continue to increase in total, again with a significant increase in the number taking part in commercial trials. This is certainly due to the National Diabetes Research Register and its ability to identify patients for studies with very tight eligibility criteria.
