[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1595980, member: 32394"] Do you mean average for someone with out type 1? The 'average' standard/expected result for someone without type 1 is 0, nil, no antibodies. If you are antibody positive, and diabetic, then congratulations, you are definitely type 1. That's all it tells you. It just confirms you have type 1. Nothing more useful than that. I don't recall what units they were measured in, but I think my GAD test was >2000 5 years post diagnosis. All that tells me is, my immune system really hates beta cells. [/QUOTE]
