Volunteers call to help RUH find new treatments

Local people are being urged to help support the development of new medical treatments which could transform people's lives by getting involved with research at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

Bath resident Willm Mistral, inset, is just one of many people already taking part in research at the RUH.

Willm joined a diabetes study where he is trialling a continuous glucose monitor, or CGM, used to track blood glucose levels.

It involves wearing a small, disc-shaped sticker on his arm, which gives him real time data on his blood sugar levels so he can ensure he keeps them within an optimal range.

By taking part in the study Willm is helping to assess how successful the new equipment could be in helping people with diabetes keep a more accurate check on their blood glucose levels using more precise data.
