Study. There are a couple of people on my team who are T1 but I am not one of them. I'm more population-focused, though. The qualitative/community stuff is mostly colleagues

Can you point me to some of your quantitative work on T1D communities?

As I said, I'm not really involved in that side of research. I mostly look at population health

So when I asked, “Do you study or participate in T1D communities?” the correct answer was “No.”

Well, I'm currently involved in a project looking at Indigenous diabetes communities in a specific region of Sydney, split into T1 and T2, but since the grant was only just approved it's early days

Sounds like a great project. May I ask why you aren’t involving Indigenous communities in the northern hemisphere? (Could it be, perhaps, that the communities with whom you are working are, in fact, the relevant population?)

Uh, well, I work in Sydney and the project is NSW-specific so it's mostly that

Ok, I see we are not getting anywhere here. I’m trying to illustrate that although there are many problems with this study, critiquing the authors for recruiting via a Facebook group simply because it’s a Facebook group displays ignorance of the context of online T1D communities.

I am wishing you a good day, good luck with your study, and all the best in your future career.
