Steph Nathan
Diagnosed with MODY aged 12.
My mum made sure I got a diagnosis, because of our strong family history. A genetic test confirmed that I did indeed have MODY and not another type of diabetes.
Steph, her mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother and sister all have Maturity Onset Diabetes in the Young (MODY), a rare type of diabetes that runs in families.
