[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2231531, member: 21149"] NICE say that the longer you leave it for a GAD test after being 'diagnosed' the less reliable the GAD test becomes. The C-Peptide is a much more useful test as it measures the state of your beta cells regardless of the cause and is the most reliable test as time progresses. Sadly the NHS has relied too much on GAD to diagnose T1 assuming T1 is mainly caused by GAD antibodies. In practice it probably isn't the main cause. There are other antibodies and viruses can cause beta cell death as I believe it did in my case. [/QUOTE]
