A GAD antibody test can detect LADA through the detection of elevated levels of pancreatic autoantibodies in patients with diabetes who do not require insulin. These antibodies also predict the rate of progression towards insulin deficiency.

I'm CJ, a wife and mom of three living with type 2 diabetes since I was diagnosed in 2019. I am a fervent advocate for chronic illness and diabetes. In addition to serving as a moderator and contributor to the Type2Diabetes.com community, I'm also an ambassador and influencer for the American Diabetes Association, Blue Circle Voices network, Chronic Disease Coalition, and Healthline Diabetic App Community. By sharing my journey, I hope to inspire others and educate them about diabetes so they can get tested for their A1C levels and insulin levels, as well as find out if they are genetically predisposed to it. If one person could benefit from my story, then I know that the journey was worth it. View all posts by thegeneticdiabetic
