How to differentiate between MODY diabetes & Type-1 Honey Moon taking in consideration:

1- Gene mutation test is not available in developing countries

2- C peptide test (either fasting or postprandial) may show good results in both MODY diabetes & type-1 Honey moon temporary partial remission phase

3- GAD antibodies may show positive even in healthy indivuals

4- Antibodies negative result (islet cell antibodies, Anti-insulin antibodies, IA2 antibodies) does not eliminate the possibility of type-1 diabetes (many type-1 cases showed negative antibodies!)

5- The case is under 10 non-obese diabetes without diabetic ketoacidosis

6- Only very strong family history of type-2 diabetes was reported.
