This isn't a 'good' or a 'bad' thing, and it's certainly nothing to worry about. There are lots of different antibodies in people with type 1, and that's just 1 of them. You were probably also tested for GAD, which is the most common autoantibody in Type 1 people. Basically what that means is, at the moment, your body isn't reacting to one of the proteins found in the cells that produce insulin. It doesn't really mean anything for you.Take care!</blockquote>
