I have MODY3, and my son unfortunately inherited it from me. He is 4 years old - and so far I have only seen one elevated blood sugar. Because of the low-renal threshold that accompanies MODY3, I am focusing more on urine screening so I can keep a closer eye on him, but not freak him out with too many blood sugar tests.
I try to keep his diet balanced and low glycemic, but once he hit toddlerhood his favorite meal became chicken nuggets and french-fries :( And I figure that teaching him balance is more important than being overly restrictive and creating a reactive psychological process in him.
Is there anyone else out there going through this journey of trying to limit or delay expression of MODY in their child?
