Hi all,
Just a quick query regarding testing to diagnose LADA.
I know people often mention GAD-A and c-peptide testing. Are both of these necessary, or would a positive GAD-A be pretty conclusive? I'm looking into private testing, but it's pretty pricey to get both tests.
(As a bit of background, I eat low carb and am slim and active, but my HbA1c is climbing steadily despite this. I have subclinical hypothyroidism with antibodies, which all makes me suspect LADA.)
Many thanks!
