[QUOTE="Suzie Quartly, post: 906607, member: 117504"] This might just be clutching at staws, but with 2 in the same family diagnosed with diabetes, I would be pushing for a genetic screen to rule out MODY. Awareness of this is very limited even amongst diabetic nurses. MODY is mid aged onset diabetes of the young. It is an inherited form of diabetes that manifests itself as type 1 in children (under 25's) However it is actually a type 2 and therefore will respond to oral medications in theory. As I say, its a shot in the dark but might be your salvation, for both girls. It is thought that I carry the MODY gene, but they wont test me as I am on oral treatments OK. My son says he has been on insulin for 20 yrs, why upset the apple cart, but we are trying to get my granddaughter tested to free her from injections [/QUOTE]
