My grandson was born with diabetes mellitus. Neither of his parents has diabetes, nor are there any genetic risks. Why would he be born with this? Are there experts on diabetes in southern California that we can see?

My daughter (one-year-old at the time) presented in the ER with a blood sugar of 36 mg/dl, and ketones in her blood. They gave her glucose via IV, and her blood sugar jumped to 200 mg/dl. She was fighting the flu, and was also dehydrated. What could all of this mean?

Tests indicate my son has MODY 5. He has been on Humalog, is supposed to start on Lantus. What is the treatment for MODY 5? It seems very few people know.

My child may be at high risk for MODY5. Can you help me understand what this means? I have type 1; could I possibly have MODY5?

After an initial diagnosis of type 1, our daughter was re-diagnosed with MODY4 and switched from insulin to glyburide. Her control is excellent. Could she still have type 1 and is achieving good control because she is in her honeymoon?

We have twice decreased my son’s insulin since diagnosis about a year ago. The nurse suspects he has MODY. How can we determine this?

My son has tested negative for antibodies four times. Should he have MODY testing? He has been on an OmniPod since April and needs very high doses of insulin. Is this related to puberty?

What is the difference between MODY and type 1? What are the chances someone with MODY can take pills instead of insulin?

Are there any syndromes known to include a thiamine deficiency and diabetes in children?

I was diagnosed with type 2 in 1978, but it went away when I lost weight. Now, GAD testing indicates I have LADA. Did I really have type 2 before or did I really have LADA all along?

My daughter has suspected MODY. Recently, her post meal blood sugars have remained elevated for several hours, despite diet/insulin. Might she have type 1? Does she need her autoantibodies rechecked?

My younger son has had elevated random and fasting blood sugars, while my older son has had elevated random blood sugars. What are the odds both have diabetes? Could they have MODY? My husband was diagnosed with type 1 as an infant.

Is it possible for it someone’s blood sugar to spike really high then be normal two hours after eating? With MODY, will there always have a high blood sugar after eating or is this something that will not occur all the time?

Several years ago, my young daughter started having hypoglycemia. A dietary adjustment eliminated the problems. Recently, her low blood sugars have recurred. Based on family history, should she be tested for MODY?

Based on the following laboratory values received today, what type of diabetes might I have and how might it best be treated?

I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, but my blood sugars are now in range. Could this be the honeymoon of LADA? Could there be some other reason for high blood sugars? Might I have been misdiagnosed?

Three years ago, I was told I had type 2. Later, they said it was MODY. A month ago I was tested for MODY, but don’t know the results. Now on quite a bit of insulin, could I have type 1 and have had a long honeymoon?

Diagnosed with MODY 2, my son’s fasting and 2 a.m. blood sugars are slightly elevated. Is there medication to help lower them? What should his A1c be?
