I think they did GAD, islet cells and coeliac on me.
Results are not in yet, but just wondering: if I am GAD and islet cells antibody negative does this mean I definitely do not have type 1? Or can you have type 1 without antibodies?

Thank you,
Fleur

As I understand it, neither test is always conclusive. Both together along with c-peptide can be pretty much diagnostic.
