Welcome to the forum @Boolibonk

Sorry to hear you are finding getting your weight to stay where you want it tough

Which insulin(s) are you taking? And do they allow you to have a fully flexible way of eating that supports your weight goals?

We have a few MODY members - though not many, as you are one of the glamorous rare types of diabetes

I’ll tag @Stitch147 who is one of our most frequent MODY contributors who may have some experiences to share.

Hi Anne, sorry to hear of your struggles, but welcome. I’m currently awaiting tests for MODY. Which strain do you have? It’s not in my family so I think it’s unlikely but would explain why I don’t fit the bill for other types of diabetes. There are lots of kind people here, I’m sure you will get lots of support xx
