How is MODY 2 Different from Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?
MODY 2 is distinct from both Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells, leading to a need for insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes, often associated with obesity and lifestyle factors, involves insulin resistance. MODY 2, however, results from a specific genetic mutation and often leads to a stable, mild elevation in blood sugar levels without the complications seen in other types of diabetes.
