Actual (reported)Monogenic diabetes is an unusual form of diabetes. It usually presents in patients under the age of 30, so is often misdiagnosed as Type 1 diabetes which is more common. Patients with monogenic diabetes can often be treated with tablets rather than insulin injections, leading to better control of their diabetes, and fewer side-effects and complications. Less than 5% of people with monogenic diabetes in the UK have been identified, meaning up to 20,000 patients may still be misdiagnosed and receiving inappropriate treatment. We want to identify the best way of ensuring that people diagnosed with diabetes under the age of 30 have all the necessary tests to ensure they have the correct treatment for their particular type of diabetes. A small number of people may, as part of this study, be found to have a specific genetic cause of their diabetes and in these cases we will measure the success and benefits of changing their treatment, usually from insulin injections to sulphonylurea tablets.

Actual (reported)Identification of patients with monogenic diabetes
The aim of this project is to identify the prevalence of patients with monogenic diabetes resulting from mutations in the HNF1A/HNF4A/GCK genes, amongst patients with early-onset diabetes, diagnosed less than 30 years.
Within 4 years from start of project
To examine the impact of making a diagnosis of monogenic diabetes on patients' treatment, glucose control and quality of life.
Within 4 years of the project start date.
To develop a health economic model of the care pathway leading to testing of monogenic diabetes.
Within 4 years of the project start date.
Patients currently under 50 years of age diagnosed with diabetes under 30 years.
Stage 1: Urinary c-peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR); if positive progress to Stage 2. Stage 2: Pancreatic auto-antibodies measurement (GAD65 \& IA2); if negative progress to genetic testing. Genetic testing for HNF1A, HNF4A, GCK. If positive, progress to Stage 3. Stage 3: review and potential change of diabetes treatment. Monitor success via use of three standardised health and quality of life questionnaires and Hba1c pre-treatment change and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-treatment change.
