REFNo: HS6792ES
Primary Objective
1. To compare the glycaemic response of the three generic and commonly used oral glucose-lowering monotherapies (glimepiride, sitagliptin, and metformin) in non-overweight or non-obese participants with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes living in Uganda and Cameroon
Secondary Objective
1.

2. To compare the side effects (including weight change and hypoglycaemia, over 12 months of treatment initiation) of three generic oral glucose-lowering monotherapies (glimepiride, sitagliptin, and metformin) when used in non-overweight or non-obese adult Ugandans and Cameroonians with newly diagnosed T2D.
3. To compare the quality of life and treatment satisfaction, as measured by the diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire (DTSQ) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), over 12 months of treatment initiation, associated with the use of the three generic oral glucose-lowering monotherapies (glimepiride, sitagliptin, and metformin) in non-overweight or non-obese adult Ugandans and Cameroonians with newly diagnosed T2D.

Techno-Stressors, Perceived Techno-Support and Psychological Wellbeing of Academic Staff in Uganda's Public Universities
REFNo: SS4674ES
The study seeks to understand how technology-related pressures affect the psychological wellbeing of academic staff in Uganda’s public universities. It explores the key techno-stressors lecturers face, the level of techno-support they receive, and how these two forces interact to shape their wellbeing. The project also digs into staff experiences and coping stories, aiming to uncover whether strong support systems can buffer or reduce the negative impact of techno-stress. Ultimately, the research hopes to generate practical recommendations that universities can use to lower techno-stress and boost staff wellbeing in an increasingly digital academic world.
