"Dr Nayak is an expert in the field of Diabetes and Endocrinology, particularly in managing Type 1 diabetes in young individuals, insulin pump therapy, diabetes in pregnancy, thyroid disease among many other special interests. I am privileged to have known Ananth for 15 years, initially whilst training together and later as consultant colleagues for almost 10 years now. He is knowledgeable, thoroughly professional and very friendly and approachable. Ananth would be the one I would go to if I or my family had any diabetes related care needs. "
