Discovery of new subtype diabetes

We have all heard of Diabetes types 1 and 2, but have you heard of a type called MODY?

It seems that diabetes is undergoing a genetics revolution that suggests there actually are many subtypes of the disease.

Apparently, patients who have this rare type of diabetes will be able to benefit from important changes in their treatment, if their doctor is aware of the type of diabetes they have.

"We've got a whole group of diabetologists who have never heard of this," laments Dr. Andrew Hattersley, a British physician-scientist who pioneered how to treat single-gene subtypes collectively known as MODY.

There has been a great amount of new discoveries in the past year on how to treat this new type of diabetes. So get along to your doctor and find out if this includes you. You may be able to benefit from improved treatments if you are one of the ones suffering from this diabetes subtype.
