Carbohydrate-controlled diet
Medical nutrition therapy focusing on consistent carbohydrate intake distribution throughout the day, with emphasis on low glycemic index foods to maintain stable blood glucose levels.
Endocrine management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Regular physical activity program
Structured exercise regimen combining aerobic activities with resistance training to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization.
Additional treatment options
Continuous glucose monitoring
Regular blood glucose monitoring using HbA1c testing and self-monitoring to track glycemic control and treatment efficacy.
monitoringSulfonylurea therapy
Oral hypoglycemic agents that stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, often effective in MODY patients with residual insulin production.
medicationStress management techniques
Mindfulness-based interventions, relaxation training, and sleep hygiene practices to reduce cortisol levels that can exacerbate insulin resistance.
