Hi all,
It took me a while to persuade myself to write this post. I searched the forum, and MODY very rarely appears in the threads, and when it appears, the users who had written about it seem to have been inactive for ages.
Cut the story short, my son was diagnosed as T1D in January. Discharged after a week with BG ranging 5-9. Went into remission rather quickly, a month after hospital, or maybe even earlier than that. Endo then changed insulin dosage to 2+2+2+2. After some frequent lows, we changed to 1+1+1+1. In the meantime we got the antibody lab results which showed no antibodies. Endo was quite enthusiastic about that, she explained that my boy might not be T1D, and suggested a DNA test. DNA samples sent to the lab a month ago, or so.
Anticipating the results now, I believe I will need some advice and some best practices from people who actually have been confirmed MODY. Having read a few posts/articles about MODY, I have created this idea in my head that MODY is the 'kinder' form of diabetes, and I can't wait for those results to come in!
So, any MODYs in here that I might contact for advice in future?
Cheers
