What is a GAD antibodies test?
A GAD test is a blood test which measures whether the body is producing a type of antibody which destroys its own GAD cells.
In type 1 diabetes, a number of autoantibodies are thought to circulate including those which target glutamic acid decarboxylase.
Presence of these autoantibodies suggests type 1 diabetes.
Why is a GAD test performed?
The test is performed to help determine which type of diabetes someone has.
The test is particularly useful for adults over 30 who get diabetes where a type 2 diabetes diagnosis is in doubt – such as if the patient is not overweight.
What will the GAD test results show?
Presence of the GAD antibodies is observed in 75% of people with type 1 diabetes at diagnosis.
If the test shows GAD antibodies are present, this indicates that the patient has type 1 diabetes. If no GAD antibodies are present, however, the test cannot be conclusive in saying that the patient does not have type 1 diabetes.
