[QUOTE="Rie26, post: 1626831, member: 454099"] I think i was switched to gliclazide as I was told people with MODY respond better to a group of tablets which are called sulfonylurea. From what I've read, metformin isn't apart of this group and works completely differently. I suppose yes in the long run it will be better for me. I was first diagnosed at 15 as type 2...well they said i thought I was rare but the test was too expensive! That was 15 years ago. I was admitted into hosptial a year ago (for something else) and the doctor just so happened to mention mody to me and how he thought I could have this. So I went to my local doctor and was approved for the test. I think I checked all the boxes for the test as I was diagnosed young and several other family members have diabetes too. They have now been tested for mody and have it too. From what I have read I think mody is similar to type 1 but it is it's own category. I'm still trying to get my head around this all too. Diabetes is very confusing at times! Lol :) [/QUOTE]
