This study aims to learn more about avoidance of hyperglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes. People who attend a type 1 diabetes clinic will be invited to complete a number of self-report questionnaires and a survey. A subsection of people who experience avoidance of hyperglycaemia will be invited to take part in an interview in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of this issue.
