About this test

Key Details for the GAD-65 Test:

Purpose: Diagnoses Type 1 Diabetes/LADA; evaluates stiff-person syndrome and certain autoimmune neurological conditions.
Preparation: No special preparations like fasting are typically required.
Method: A standard blood sample is drawn from a vein.

When is it Ordered?

Doctors order this test if a patient shows symptoms of high blood sugar (diabetes) but the type is unclear, or to assess risks in family members of those with type 1 diabetes.

What Results Indicate:

High Levels: Suggest autoimmune diabetes (Type 1 or LADA) or, if accompanied by neurological symptoms, autoimmune neurological disorders like Stiff-Person Syndrome.
