As a clinician, in addition to experience and training in paediatric endocrinology, I have specific interests in the management of children with syndromes of severe insulin resistance and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
My current research projects include a clinical trial comparing the effects of 2 different basal insulins (detemir and glargine) on weight gain in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes, and a physiological study looking at the effects of synthetic estrogen administration on hepatic growth hormone resistance and urine albumin excretion in girls with type 1 diabetes.
