A member asked:

My gad-65 antibody level is 3.4 u/ml. is this considered low or high? could it be related to something other than type 1 diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GAD-65: This is considered elevated and is used in diabetes type 1 evaluation. It has also been employed in evaluating and confirming a diagnosis of stiff-man syndrome, autoimmune encephalitis, cerebellitis, brain stem encephalitis, myelitis.
