A member asked:

Does the presents of gad and ia2 antibodies in the blood suggest type 1 diabetes or is it the amount of those antibodies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The presence of antibodies suggests a propensity to type 1 diabetes, but is not diagnostic of diabetes. The diagnosis of diabetes would require abnormality in blood glucose. You may visit this site for info: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18176860
