GCK - MODY

  • general consensus is that the majority of these patients do not require treatment since insulin or oral hypoglycaemic agents has little effect on glycemia in this group
  • however in pregnancy insulin may be required to prevent excess fetal growth

HNF1A-MODY and HNF4A-MODY

  •  low dose sulfonylureas are recommended as first line treatment for patients with HNF1A/HNF4A-MODY, however most patients will progress to insulin treatment with time
  • a short-acting sulfonylurea such as nateglinide may sometimes be used as an alternative
