I'm afraid that the GAD antibodies test is not conclusive on its own, please see these comments from an NHS web page below. GAD antibodies [SIZE=5][B]Synonyms[/B][/SIZE] Glutamic Acid Dehydrogenase antibodies [SIZE=5][B]Clinical Indications[/B][/SIZE] Type I autoimmune diabetes mellitus (IDDM) Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) First degree relatives of patients with Type I diabetes Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) . Please note: Anti GAD antibodies are found in 65 - 85% of patients with Type I Diabetes, in 70 - 90% of patients with LADA, approximately 80% of healthy relatives of patients with Type I Diabetes and a small percentage of patients with Type II Diabetes. Levels are generally low in Diabetes (<100 U/mL). Anti GAD antibodies are found in approximately 60% of patients with Stiff Person Syndrome. Levels are generally high in SPS (>300 U/mL).
