| Another MODY
I just posted a long message about MODY in the Type 1.5 thread where it was mentioned.
I seem to have a mild case of MODY which responds dramatically to teensy doses of basal insulin. I'm currently using 4 units of UL (until my supply runs out.) 3 in the morning (which covers lunch beautifully) and 1 at night.
Lantus was terrible for me. The dose high enough to control as well as the UL was giving me hypos at night. I tried Levemir, but for some reason it pushed my blood pressure way up, though it did good for my blood sugar at a dose of only 2 units.
I will eventually have to use the Levemir and hope I can get the BP to calm down with it.
I avoid the sulfs because I have read that they may worsen heart attack risk and the history of the part of my family that carries the MODY gene is that most of them die of early heart attacks BEFORE being diagnosed with diabetes. That's because we have very high post-prandials but only impaired fasting blood sugars with our gene.
But I don't want anything that will worsen my heart attack risk as I am only a few years away from the age at which my relatives died of first heart attacks.
Why not ask your doctor if you can switch to insulin? Just remember that you' will need a dose typical of a Type 1 on Honeymoon--very low, not the usual doses they start people at.
Start low and work up with the basal first. If your doctor isn't comfortable with this, you might need a new doctor who is. It was my family doctor who pursuaded me to try insulin and I can't believe how much better I feel with it.  |
