معرفی
Dr. Pratik Choudhary is a researcher working within Prof Stephanie Amiel's research group, focusing on hypoglycemia and diabetes management. He serves as Primary Investigator on multiple significant research projects including Hypo-RESOLVE and various studies related to hypoglycemia awareness and treatment.
Research Interests
Dr. Choudhary's research primarily centers on hypoglycemia in diabetes patients, with particular focus on:
- Comparing regional brain responses to hypoglycemia in aware versus unaware individuals using PET imaging
- Investigating brain responses to nutrient ingestion using fMRI
- Modulating counter-regulatory responses to hypoglycemia
- Improving awareness and protective hormonal responses in those with impaired responses
- Exploring new technologies including real-time continuous glucose monitoring and closed-loop systems
Research Trends
Dr. Choudhary's recent work (2023-2024) demonstrates a strong focus on the Hypo-METRICS and Hypo-RESOLVE consortia studies. His research examines nocturnal hypoglycemia patterns, hypoglycemia awareness status, and the implementation of digital tools for diabetes management. A significant portion of his work investigates the relationship between hypoglycemia awareness and symptom manifestation in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients, with particular attention to ecological momentary assessment methods.
Research Grants and Projects
Dr. Choudhary has secured significant funding for diabetes research:
- Hypo-RESOLVE (2018-2023): A major project funded by EC European Commission and Leona M & Harry B Helmsley Charitable Trust focusing on redefining solutions for better lives for those with hypoglycemia
- Neuroimaging study (2017-2022): Funded by JDRF to understand the role of cognitions in restoring hypoglycemia awareness
- DIA_Friend (2017-2020): A personalized integrated predictive diabetes management system
- HARPdoc (2017-2020): A hypoglycemia awareness restoration program for people with type 1 diabetes
Research Environment
Dr. Choudhary works within Prof Stephanie Amiel's research group, collaborating with multiple institutions through consortia like Hypo-RESOLVE. His work involves interdisciplinary teams including clinicians, neuroscientists, and technology specialists focused on improving diabetes management and understanding the neurological aspects of hypoglycemia. With 4,810 citations to his work, his research has substantial impact in the field of diabetes care.
