Mary Lee was thought to have Type 1 diabetes for over 3 decades; she was finally diagnosed with HNF1A MODY and was able to stop her insulin injections and get excellent blood sugar control with a sulphonylurea tablet. We hear from Ewan Pearson how sulphonylurea tablets were found to be excellent glucose lowering treatment when Andrew’s clinical observations of his HNF1A MODY patients were followed up by Ewan with a clinical trial.
