Staff Profile

Introduction

In 2011 I identified the causative mechanisms of type 2 diabetes and showed how these are returned to normal by weight loss. This has led to a series of clinical studies on remission of type 2 diabetes which have also confirmed and extended understanding of the aetiological mechanisms. Most recently, type 2 diabetes has been shown to be a simple condition of homogenous aetiology in genetically heterogenous individuals. Hence people with type 2 diabetes who appear to be of 'normal' weight can return to full health by weight loss.

My role encompassed application of magnetic resonance methodology to clinical medicine, metabolic research in diabetes, clinical outcome research in diabetic pregnancy, and teaching in diabetes and obstetric medicine. My development of effective methodology for prevention of blindness by retinal screening in diabetes led to the current NHS diabetes eye screening programme and has sharply decreased rates of blindness due to diabetes especially in younger people.
