You are invited to participate in a study on memory and glucose regulation, as part of a Master of Clinical Neuropsychology research project. The study aims to investigate the relationship between memory, interoception (ie the ability to sense internal bodily states) and the ability to regulate glucose. 

The study requires participants to attend a 2.5-hour lab session at 2 First Walk, Macquarie University. Participants will also be asked to wear a flash glucose monitoring device, which they can keep, and will receive a $40 gift voucher on completion of the study.

During the lab session, participants will wear the FreeStyle Libre 2, a continuous glucose monitoring device that involves attaching a small sensor to the arm. Participants will continue wearing the device for the next two days, without the need to return it to the lab. 

To participate in the study, you must meet the following criteria: 

• English is your dominant language 
• body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25 
• aged between 18 and 65 
• smartphone with an operating system compatible with FreeStyle Libre 2 – specifically, Android operating system 5.0 or higher, iPhone 7 or higher, or iOS 11 or higher 
• no history of neurological, psychiatric, metabolic (eg diabetes) and/or cardiovascular disorders 
• not hospitalised in the last six months 
• not currently taking psychotropic medication 
• no history of head injury 
• not pregnant.

Before participating, all potential participants must complete this online screener and informed consent form. At the end of the screener, eligible participants will receive a password that needs to be emailed to researcher Zen Juen Lau to schedule a session.

If you or someone you know meets the eligibility criteria and would like to know more, email Zen at zenjuen.lau@students.mq.edu.au.
