There is evidence that higher than normal blood sugars start causing the beta cells to become dysfunctional, and then to die-off. The rough numbers that Jenny Ruhl ("Blood Sugar 101") has compiled from a review of the research is that FBG's over 1...
I gave the school nurse a copy of our MODY type desription and article from the Exeter site and our doctor's number if she had any questions at all. She has been very good. Teachers always have to be educated each year but they usually get on boar...
Hi,
I do what you do. I explain MODY, and that he can have one piece of cake, diet soda, (we usually bring it) No other sugars or treat. My son does not typically like the carb loaded foods. He will eat the frosting but no cake etc. I was the same...
I was on Prandin for a while, it helped with numbers while eating carbs but as I stayed on Byetta longer I did not need it any longer. The Byetta is the best, their is weight loss rather than weight gain and the longer your on it the more energy a...

It seems like that is true for all oral medications... they work for a while and then the dose that used to work, no longer works, so you increase the dose but then it doesn't matter how much you take it doesn't deliver...
Seems like the oral agen...

Hi Jayme
Have just joined this site are there any members who have Mody 5, my son has this rare chronic condition and we are trying to find anyone who has Mody 5 - Brenda
HI Jayme,
I found your discussion of A1Cs really interesting. Our peds endo. continues to monitor the children with A1Cs, but maybe we shouldn't be focusing so much on A1C numbers. My children's blood sugars seem to run similar to those of your children, but sometimes also reach a little higher after eating- 200-400s. I often wonder if the meter is working right!
Can you tell me more about natural versus artificial sweeteners and their effects?
Hi Bridget! I am so glad to hear from you!!! Do you know what # MODY your family has? We are MODY #2. Please be patient with me, I am really new having my own web page, and I am learning by trial and error! How long have you known your family has MODY?
Hi Jayme, I read your comment on the challengediabetech site and they told me today about this support group you just started. My husband and one of our children have MODY. My husband's family is affected in many ways. His dad, and his sister also have it. I am so glad to find someone who also struggles with this rare condition. Please contact me and I'd love to exchange stories and tips. Thanks so much!!!
