Thanks for the replies.
lottadata, which form of MODY do you have?
Like you my family all die of heart attacks before the age of 60, but have all had a diagnosis of diabetes.
I think my doctors would be completley against insulin, there is a move to get as many MODy's as possible off insulin, including people that have been on insulin for 20+years. Results seems to show that control is equal or better on sulfs than insulin. So i'm not sure that they would want to try me on insulin, until i was on a max of oral meds.
I don't feel like they are really bothered by the high blood sugars, can't remember the last time had one in range. they just say wait and see what happens.
didn't know about the link between sulfs and heart disease, will look into that more.
I wouldn't be particulary against going on insulin if it got me in control, just don't think they would prescribe it.
