Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2732689" data-attributes="member: 372207">For what it's worth, many, perhaps even most T1's are diagnosed without any antibody testing.The average age of developing T1 is 24, and without an indication it could be something else than T1, T1 is the default diagnosis in young people and children. Their antibodies are hardly ever tested to decide on T1.Antibody testing comes in only when type isn't clear from circumstances, and it can help a diagnosis but it can also muddle the waters. Negative antibodies, even if all known types are tested do not rule out T1.</blockquote>
