[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2314458, member: 525950"] The next steps? I’m disappointed to say but they’re just going to keep a close eye on you until your pancreas cannot cope and you will restart insulin. Nobody knows how long it will take. Anti-GAD antibody positivity is only present in 70-80% of Type 1 Diabetics. There are other antibodies you may test positive for including IA-2, zinc transporter, islet cell and insulin antibodies. Antibody tests are also not very reliable. When first diagnosed I was positive for GAD at 713 units/ml and positive for islet cell antibodies but the lab didn’t enter a value in, 3-4 months later I went to a private hospital abroad GAD at 349 units/ml and came back negative for islet cell antibodies [/QUOTE]
