G’Day to the Forum and a special note to Mr. Grant_Vicat. You brought this subject up in transit the other night here in a very very hot Australia I believe over pancreatic functions and Anti-GAD functions. The questions not involving you also came up about Type 2 going to Type 1. I was also told that there is a Type 3c.
So I wanted to address this issue as I now understand it form Australian Endocrinologist here in this heat. So Grant I had you in mind plus a few others who may have had a concern about “Confusion” that I was hard to understand on certain issues. I read of another “Hypo” issue that I thought this Forum handed very well. My story, and how that went is over and I expect that is that. But I did feel for that young Lady who knew she was in trouble and I learned a lot.
Grant, GAD Antibodies 65 and 67. Anti-GAD, anti-IA2, anti-Insulin and anti-islet Cell antibodies are associated with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(autoimmune diabetes). Measurement of these antibodies is useful in predicting diabetes in the first degree relatives of Type 1 Diabectic patients, distinguishing between Type 1 DM and Type 2 DM.
The positive predictive value of these antibodies for risk of progression to Type 1 DM INCREASES with the number of antibodies from Type 2 DM. Anti-GAD antibodies may occur in stiff person Syndrome. These may be GAD65 or GAD67 antibodies whereas GAD65 antibodies are detected in Type DM. Mr. Danner’s tests detect GAD65 antibodies only.
These reports for the common man as me are really worthless as I really went to a lot of issue Grant, for what?
These men at Medical School can learn a good rap but they do not live in our bodies and in 6 Hours I will call them about there GAD65? What?
