After 5 years on Metformin and Sitaglyptin/aloglyptin (vomiting violently 3 or 4 times a week) and constantly telling various GPs that there is a problem I finally gave up on the NHS and paid for a private consultation with an endocrinologist. That was only after I took myself of all my meds and waited for my HBA1c to climb to 93. All that just to prove a point. I was right all along, I am not Type 2 - never was. I am currently under investigation for HNF1A (Mody 3) or early slow progressive Type 1. I would like to discuss my experience with other MODYs. I have been regularly visiting various GPs my entire life complaining of what were obviously secondary symptoms rather than primary. Dogmatism has no place in the identification and treatment of diabetes.
