Hi,
Happy new year to everyone.
I had a nice little Christmas gift this year, after having 'the usual' symptoms for three weeks I was diagnosed with MODY on the 28th Dec. :shock:
I know very little about Diabetes full stop, let alone MODY, and it's all come as a bit of a shock.
I've always considered myself to be 'reasonably' fit and healthy, I don’t binge eat anything, I eat well (nothing processed, all fresh), plenty of fruit and veg.
From what I've read on the net, MODY is a genetic form of diabetes, so I know it's probably not my lifestyle that had lead to it.
My blood sugar currently fluctuates throughout the day from 4.9-18.5mmol, although I feel really bad when it's low.
Since being told, I have cut pretty much all sugar and bad carbs from my diet, I don't really think that this will be a problem in the long term as it doesn't really differ that much from my 'normal' diet.
I just wondered whether anyone can give me some firsthand info about it, as I think I've over read all sorts of info (more than likely rubbish) on the net.
Thank you in advance,
Neil.
