Rate My Professor Angus Forbes

Professor Forbes maintains an active research portfolio centred on the development and evaluation of clinical, psychological and educational interventions to enhance diabetes care and outcomes. His key areas of focus include reproductive health and pregnancy in diabetes, diabetes in older people, and diabetes in younger people during transition periods. Research methods employed encompass clinical trials, evaluations of complex interventions, epidemiological studies utilising large datasets, data synthesis, and qualitative research. Recent and ongoing projects address a pan-European survey of diabetes nurses on the impact of COVID-19, diabetes prevention in women with gestational diabetes mellitus, preconception care in women with Type 2 diabetes, psychologically modelled education interventions for young people with Type 1 diabetes, supportive interventions for adults with new-onset Type 1 diabetes, the relationship between cognitive impairment and diabetic retinopathy, glycaemic variability and mortality in older people with diabetes, the impact of lipohypertrophy on glucose variation in Type 1 diabetes, and trials of virtual clinics to improve primary care diabetes outcomes.
