It includes three simple online writing exercises, which aim to improve adjustment to living with diabetes and mental and physical health.

You may be eligible to take part if you: • Have type 1 or type 2 diabetes • Are aged 18 years or over • Are able to read, write and speak English • Are not currently experiencing a significant mental illness For more information, please visit the Writing for Health website: https://writingforhealth.ehat.com.au This study has been approved by the St Vincent’s Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (Reference Number HREC 13/SVH 379).
