The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) to existing insulin treatment in monogenic variant carriers of the Joslin 50-Year Medalist Study ("Medalists"), who are characterized by ≥50 years of insulin-dependent diabetes. Our primary objective is to evaluate whether the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) high-risk alleles for diabetes (DR3 and/or DR4) can affect the effectiveness of OHA in these subjects.
