Research
My research focus has been on exploring the impact of variance of HbA1c (a measure of intracellular glycation) from extracellular glycaemia leading to the novel concept of 'glycation gap' in diabetes.
My initial epidemiological research studies have been the first published evidence in literature, through robust methodology, confirming the consistency of the glycation gap in diabetes and its association with demographics, vascular complications and mortality in diabetes (Nayak et al Diabetes Care 2011 and 2013).
Through my own research in Antenatal Diabetes at UHNM we have demonstrated significant reduction in key pregnancy outcomes by treating women with gestational diabetes incorporating HbA1c in screening.
My research has been presented at International and National meetings. I have been a co-investigator in the multi-centre national studies and also clinical trials at UHNM.
