Diabetes MODY- The poor cousin of type 1 & 2?

In this episode we discuss diabetes MODY (maturity onset of diabetes in the young), which only accounts for 20-40,000 diagnoses in the UK. The reason being that Lee was diagnosed with this at the age of 10 and has had minimal intervention since, possibly due to the lack of knowledge surrounding genetic forms of diabetes.
As mentioned in the podcast, the following link can be accessed to calculate your risk of MODY and as always, if you have any concerns you should seek medical advice as this podcast is for information purposes only.

14 Hours in A&E

In our introductory episode, we discuss the reasons behind starting a podcast and an overview of what is to come. With over 10 years clinical experience between us, we witness how our health is impacted by preventative conditions. However, it took 14 hours in an A&E department as a patient to finally give us that push to release a series of informative podcasts and empower you to greater health.
