If things work out as planned, doctors and nurses in developing countries could soon be able to conduct a simple, inexpensive blood test on patients to see if they're at risk of developing diabetes, thanks to the work of Prakash Naidu.

The soft-spoken Ottawa man who interchangeably describes himself as an inventor and an innovator is working with a partner in India to develop a low-cost blood test that will detect a person's current insulin resistance (IR) level and depict it on a 1-100 point metric scale.
