Hi, Kirstien! (I hope I spelled your name right.) I'm Margo or Mango, which ever you prefer. I'm 13 and was diagnosed at 9. Feel free to talk to me. Where do you live. I'm in Midcoast Maine.:D

Hi there, I'm a bit older than you (22), but I also have MODY, I am on insulin now but I used to be on pills. I remember it being really hard when i was your age because I didn't fit in with the type1's that were my age and also didn't fit in with the type 2's who were older and on pills. I found it really helpful to talk to other MODY's who understood me.

thankyou that is how i feel sometimes too...you don't fit in with type 1's and you don't fit in with type 2's...and sometimes it's hard b/c nobody really knows what MODY is, it seems like
