Series 3 episode 4. Janette and Alice: Big babies with dangerously low blood sugars in HNF4A MODY
Manage episode 449779885 series 3528389
In this episode we talk to Janette and her daughter Alice who were both correctly diagnosed with HNF4A MODY having been initially told they had Type 1 diabetes. The diagnosis not only allowed them to stop insulin but also explained the mystery of two of Jeanette’s children that were born as large babies and collapsed soon after birth with low blood sugar. Andrew explains how it was discovered that babies that inherited the HNF4A genetic change were on average over 800g heavier and were at high risk of low blood glucose around birth
