    Recently reclassified as MODY

    Hi, I'm Jo and I've been diabetic since 1999, initially diagnosed as Type 1, but recently reclassified as MODY. Changing from insulin to Gliclazide has been a major readjustment and change in mindset, so it would be great to speak to anyone who has been through similar. Thanks, Jo
