[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1764054, member: 32394"] [USER=391597]@Hollieo4[/USER] have you actually had genetic testing to confirm MODY? MODY isn't diagnosed by a negative antibody test, 25% of type 1s are antibody negative and remain type 1. MODY is genetic diabetes caused by a mutation on a specific gene. Genetic testing will tell you which particular gene mutation has caused your diabetes. This is important because depending on the gene mutation that determines which treatment is most appropriate for your diabetes. MODY isn't treated with metformin, it's treated with Gliclazide and sulphonyureas. You really should be seeking a referral to Exeter for proper genetic testing and an appropriate treatment plan from the MODY specialists. [/QUOTE]
