[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 41112, member: 11875"] Another possibility [url=http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/diabetesgenes/index.htm]http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/diabetesgenes/index.htm[/url] MODY is often misdiagnosed either as Type 1 or Type 2, most forms seem to respond well to low doses of sulfs which should be fairly readily available. They seem to start the pancreas responding again but medical supervision is really required as the doses are often much lower than needed for Type 2 and there's a very real possibility of generating hypos. The genetic tests themselves are very expensive but the response to treatment can be diagnostic. This may be why some insulin users (Halle Berry?) can later come off insulin - because they were initially misdiagnosed. MODY generally runs in families, isn't usually associated with overweight or poor lipids and is fairly uncommon - unless of course it runs in *your* family when it can be quite common. [/QUOTE]
