is gad testing reliable if already insulin dependant
 
I would say probably No. If you look at the relevant NICE T1 diabetes Guidelines it says that GAD testing becomes less reliable as time goes on after diagnosis. A more reliable test for T1 is c-peptide as it shows your level of insulin production regardless of cause. It still works even in the presence of injected insulin.
