Description

Natalie Raphael was diagnosed as having glucokinase MODY at the end of her first pregnancy. In her second pregnancy she had a recently introduced blood test that showed her fetus had not inherited her change in the glucokinase gene so was at risk of growing large. As a result of this she was given long-acting insulin to lower her glucose.  Alice Hughes is the researcher who did the key study that proved the new blood test was both practical and accurate in glucokinase pregnancy.
