]]> Comment on What is MODY? by Heather http://lancetqueen.wordpress.com/what-is-mody/#comment-2932 Heather Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:32:16 +0000 http://lancetqueen.wordpress.com/what-is-mody/#comment-2932 My 3 year old daughter is in the process of going to an endocrinologist to see if she has MODY. the description of the "lazy pancreas" is actually very accurate to what she's going through. as far as pricking your finger we bought her these ultra fine lancetes that go to her one touch ultra glucometer but i'm sure they make ultra fine tips for whatever brand you have. Like I said she's 3 and we've been only doing this for 2 months and she doesn't even notice anymore!! that's really the only advice I have other then when we VERY first started i had her eat an Ice Pop (to numb her finger slightly) and that worked ok too. Good Luck.

Last month, my doctor referred me to an Endocrinologist. He gave me a monitor, and told me that I have Dysmetabolic Syndrome X. What baffled me about this was no blood was drawn while I was there. He did lance my finger (which hurt ALOT) and told me my sugar was 95. He put me on Lipitor which I only chose to start taking a week ago. I am terrified to prick my finger. My family hasn't helped me overcome my fears. The stress of this whole mess has raised my blood pressure. I don't know what to do and would really appreciate some tips. How do you get comfortable causing yourself pain? THANKS! In my immediate family, My brother (type 1), my sister (type 2), and my dad (type 2) all have diabetes.

Sometimes our body just can't handle all we eat. I have experienced a huge health difference taking a natural antioxident drin called Kyani Sunrise. I suffered from hypoglycemia and got it stabalized, so now I spread the word. I wanted to share a small testimonial from one of my customers. In just 1 week of taking the drink he went to his doctor for a check up and his doctor was amazed at his quick improvement. He suffered from high blood pressure and hypoglycemia for many years and both were stabalizing quickly. Highly recommend you check it out at http://kyanisunrise.wordpress.com Sorry to hear your bad experience. Sometimes our body just can’t handle all we eat.

It does calorie/carb/fats and maybe fiber. pretty handy. I just found you by googling good blood sugar monitoring.

I just turned 30 in February, and was diagnosed with diabetes over 10 years ago at age 19. I'm glad to hear that you are monitoring your children closely. A doctor saw signs in me around your son's age, but just told me to cut back on sugar, which I did for a while but it all fell apart in college. I wish my parents would have known to have A1C tests performed - we really only knew to look for the obvious symptoms of diabetes (frequent urination, etc). I recently came across some notes of my dad's that say my A1C at time of diagnosis was 11! So, I'm surprised but happy to say I've had no complications thus far, despite at least a year with blood sugars that high. Hi Janelle – I’m so sorry to hear about your husband.

We didn't know about MODY back then. I had my children genetically tested and I have one son who tested positive for MODY 3. He was 11 at the time of testing and asymptomatic, now he is 15 and his A1c's are creeping up. (It was 6.1 yesterday) I have first hand experience with the disease and I eat up every piece of information I get on the internet. My sons doctors are a bit frustrating (thats another story) Your blog is an interesting and fun read...... I only scanned it briefly. Do you mind if I ask your age? Thanks!
