MODY stands for Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young. It is a relatively rare genetic problem that results in inadequate insulin, but there is no autoimmune attack and no insulin resistance. The symptoms are similar to T2 symptoms, hence the frequent misdiagnosis.
20% of T1s test negative for the antibodies, and you could be one of them. But in any case, it sounds like you need to be on insulin. It would give you a lot more flexibility in your food choices.
