Graduation project: Diabetes
Diabetes and exercise: an inspiring graduation project by our student Veronika
Sport and exercise have always been a natural part of her life. As Veronika has diabetes herself, choosing the focus of her graduation project was straightforward. She decided to combine personal experience with research and chose a subject close to her heart: diabetes and exercise.
The biggest research challenge? Surprisingly, it was not the theory.
She says she thoroughly enjoyed investigating the effects of sport on diabetes. But every research project brings complications. What was her biggest challenge during the study?
If you are guessing complex medical theory, finding her way through specialist literature or demanding data analysis, you would be wrong.
The toughest part of the whole project was finding people who did not exercise to take part in her research!
How did Veronika deal with the shortage of inactive participants? And what interesting, perhaps unexpected results did she reach? Watch the interview to find out.
