Comprehensive GAD-65 Autoantibody Testing for Autoimmune Diabetes
The GAD-65 IgG test detects autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase, a key marker for type 1 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Combined with clinical history and glucose monitoring, this assay provides near‑certain differentiation between autoimmune and non‑autoimmune diabetes, enabling early, personalised treatment planning.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a diabetologist, I understand how worrying an unclear glucose pattern can be. A single elevated blood sugar does not define your future—this test helps distinguish autoimmune diabetes early so we can tailor your treatment and protect your beta‑cell function. Always correlate these results with your full clinical picture and consult your doctor.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, Diabetologist, DHA License No. 61713011

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does the GAD-65 IgG test detect?
The GAD-65 IgG test measures autoantibodies targeting the GAD enzyme, confirming autoimmune-mediated beta‑cell destruction in diabetes. It is the primary serological marker for distinguishing type 1 diabetes and LADA from type 2 diabetes, especially when clinical presentation is atypical.
Is this test suitable for children?
Yes, with parental consent as per UAE CDS Law 2026, the is safe for minors and requires only a small blood sample. It is routinely used in paediatric endocrinology to confirm autoimmune diabetes in children with new‑onset hyperglycaemia.
ما هي مدة صلاحية نتيجة التحليل؟
نتيجة الاختبار تعكس الحالة المناعية الحالية ولا تنتهي صلاحيتها، ولكن يوصى بإعادة الفحص إذا تغيرت الأعراض السريرية. في العادة، لا يحتاج المريض إلى إعادة الاختبار إلا في حال ظهور أعراض جديدة توحي بتطور مرض السكري المناعي الذاتي.
