Hello everyone, I'm not a new member but haven't posted since being told I might have M.O.D.Y so wonder if anyone knows if there is a topic on this type of Diabetes please?
Hi Little Grey Cat I just came across your post. I live in UK It was suggested to me by my Doctor about 3 years ago that I might have MODY as my family and myself are all very slim people and Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Father and Sister all had and have Type 2. I was diagnosed T2 at the...
