This bitesize module will define monogenic diabetes; and describe the difference between monogenic diabetes (a single gene mutation) and Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (polygenic gene mutations). Examples of monogenic diabetes will be discussed including MODY; and neonatal diabetes. The module will also provide information on resources for further learning.
At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power, we’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.
