[QUOTE="ert, post: 2216787, member: 504712"] You need an autoimmune response to be type 1. The issue with antibodies is that they only hang around for 6 months after an autoimmune response. If you don't have the antibody test straight away then you could be falsely antibody negative. Also, currently are 4 types of antibodies they can test for which are markers of beta cell autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes, with GAD only one of them: Islet Cell Antibodies (ICA, against cytoplasmic proteins in the beta cell), antibodies to Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD-65), Insulin Autoantibodies (IAA), and IA-2A, to protein tyrosine phosphatase. There could be more yet to be discovered. [/QUOTE]
