maturity-onset diabetes of the young

Also called monogenic diabetes happens due to an inherited genetic mutation that affects how your body makes and uses insulin.

There are currently over 10 different types of MODY diabetes.

It affects up to 5% of people with diabetes and commonly runs in families.

Then there's neonatal diabetes, which is babies.

Well, there's, yeah, autoimmune diabetes of adulthood.

And there's some different distinctions in that, but it effectively, you know, diabetes, there's two primary types although there's some other subtypes so there's really three primary types there's type 1 which is where the pancreas doesn't produce insulin as you know and there's type 2 which is where the body becomes insulin resistant and so can't utilize the sugar and you produce a ton of insulin but then down the road the pancreas gets tired and gets burned out and you can have people become sort of type 1 type twos although for a different reason exactly And then there's gestational diabetes and some of the less common types like MODY, which are a genetic type of diabetes.

And so we still really weren't sure what type was going on, what I had.

But it made sense to me that eating sugar was, and not even sugar, but even whole grains was a bad idea because my blood sugar would go up.

I have made it my calling.

Actually, I was called to do this to help millions of people around the planet with diabetes, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, LADA, M-O-D-Y.

All the diabetics in the world are getting terrible information from the current powers that be.

So first and foremost, before we get started, tell me where you're watching from.

There is no exception to that.

Now, if someone has developed LADA or MODY or has become a late-onset type 1 diabetic, they're going to always need some insulin, right? But if you're still making insulin, all you've got to do is get your carbohydrate intake low enough each day.

And so keto got you down to 6.7. You're still type 2 diabetic at 6.7. What you're going to do is you're going to watch Nisha's video on her channels about Ketobor.

You've got several.

But there's actually five different kinds of diabetes now, not counting gestational diabetes, which I'm sure you also don't have, David.

But you may have a type I, type 1.5. You may have LADA, you may have MODY.

I need those numbers to know for sure.

I wasn't laughing at you.

But the big pharmaceutical corporations keep changing the molecule a little bit or changing the delivery system.

a little bit so that they can get a new patent so they can charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars a month for injectable or inhalable insulin now that you don't even need as a type 2 diabetic now first and foremost let's separate there are there's distinct differences between a type 1 diabetic and a type 2 diabetic and also lada and mody So I want you to know first and foremost that you are actually a type 2 diabetic, and this entails more than just your doctor told you so, okay? You need to get hold of your medical records and make sure that you've had a test called a C-peptide done at least once in your career as a patient with that doctor.

If there is no C-peptide, in your chart and that's a lab that's drawn from your blood and sent to the lab if you don't have a c-peptide in your medical record then in actuality your doctor doesn't know if you're a type 2 diabetic or not that it was basically just a best guess and if it's a good doctor then most of the time we're right but sometimes we're wrong sometimes you're a type 1 you have LADA or MODY and we just assume based on your age and your body habitus that you're a type 2 diabetic so make sure you've got a c-peptide checked in your chart then the rest of this video is going to help you immensely there are many many different kinds of insulin that are recommended for type 2 diabetics one of the latest ones is a frexa which is actually an inhaled insulin and so since this is a even though it's just human insulin which should be basically a molecule that's free to you.

They were able to get a patent on this because it's a novel delivery system.

You inhale the insulin instead of injecting it.

Just type 2s can take the GLP-1s.

You might have the type 1 1⁄2s or the kind of in-between patients or the MODY patients that are more rare that can take the GLP-1s, but generally type 2s are the only ones that benefit from them, so...

And this is looking at helping with that blood sugar side of things for their A1C, right? So ultimately, this can help lower that A1C.

So if you've been changing your lifestyle a little bit and you're just not getting to that next step, the GLP-1s might be the next part of that journey.

Mm-hmm

... seems to have reversed many patients with type 1, uh, LADA, MODY patients as well, which is maturity onset of diabetes of the young, um, and late in, autoimmune diabetes of adults.

And I don't, I don't know if I'll ever get off of insulin shots, but I do think that I can get down to one or two units a day.

So like I said, I'm trying everything I can do.

And there's, and here's part of the problem, Andrew.

Type 1 diabetics are actually a very small percentage of the entire diabetic community.

But it's funny you say that, 'cause you're, it, but you're seeing a lot more of the MODY and LA, I think it's LADA or LADA.

Yeah.

Especially lean patients who fail oral drugs quickly, they need insulin early.

Some young patients with a strong family history have monogenic diabetes, MODY.

In India, we also see fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes and diabetes after pancreatitis.

And always think of secondary causes.
