| Maribeth,
The sulfs are a step back, not forward, for kids.
I have heard from quite a few people diagnosed young with MODY who were put on sulfs and found that they caused torturing hunger and blood sugar swings.
I recently heard from a woman whose daughter diagnosed with MODY gained over 30 lbs on Prandin and developed very bad mood swings.
I recently tried prandin, I'm an old lady by now and years of not being diagnosed burned out my beta cells, but even so, though it did something to control my blood sugar, it was nowhere near as good as the combination of cutting carbs and using insulin. And after ten days, I had gained a pound because it was making me hungry.
Amaryl causes me nonstop hypos at tiny doses.
So I would personally not want to put a kid on a sulf! |
