Knowing which sort of MODY does help pick the correct treatment eg one type repsonds really well to a small dose of sulphonylurea eg gliclazide and another sort needs insulin fairly quickly.When doing the genetic test for MODY, the first person to be tested by the NHS costs the NHS a bit cos not quite sure which genetic marker one is seeking, but then if testing other family members, it is much cheaper cos just looking for the one abnormal gene that was found in the first personI would push your consultant to test for which variety of MODY - Exeter is the reference centrebest wishes</blockquote>
