[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 1038887, member: 91575"] Hi Karib, Welcome to the forum I am no expert, but I believe any GAD test over 50 indicates an autoimmune condition, and hence T1. Presumably the higher the number the higher the degree. My GAD test was done over two years now, because I have had very stable low BG levels since then I think if I were to have another GAD test done now it would be much lower, but still over 50. I guess the higher the number the quicker you are likely to loose your few remaining insulin making beta cells. Indeed my diabetic consultant told me that because of my high level of GAD I would be on insulin within weeks, as said, that was over two years ago, and I am still not on insulin, and my BG levels are much lower now than then. Your profile indicates you are a T1 on insulin, was this diagnosis after the GAD test?. What prompted you to have a GAD test?. Has anyone said you are LADA or T1 in the honeymoon period?. [/QUOTE]
