DiverDon replied to Sue59's discussion '4 words is harder than you think......!!'"oh no, not again !"
Tom T replied to DiverDon's discussion 'New diagnosis....no answers yet....a little frustrating'"100% agreement then, we just disagreed over a word then, sorry:) Gold standard, you got it. Misdiagnosis is a huge problem. It saddens me that we see so many people come here with a likely case of misdiagnosis that isn't being considered…"
"Hi Tom: You are right, there are no guarantees in life and I should refer to antibody testing ((glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA), islet cell antibodies (ICA), and insulinoma-associated (IA-2) autoantibodies) as “the gold…"
Zoe replied to DiverDon's discussion 'New diagnosis....no answers yet....a little frustrating'"I agree. We can make educated guesses, but nobody on a website can diagnose you. I'm not suggesting you were asking us to.I just know that we all like to relate and especially for those of us who were misdiagnosed this is a bit of a hot topic.…"
Lila replied to DiverDon's discussion 'New diagnosis....no answers yet....a little frustrating'"Hi DiverDon - at the moment this discussion is kinda speculative. I do think you should get an antibody test done and then this discussion can continue. Without the antibody results, a lot of this is interesting and informative, but ultimately…"
Tom T replied to DiverDon's discussion 'New diagnosis....no answers yet....a little frustrating'"A test that falsely identifies non-diabetics can not be definitive. Someone with insulin-resistant T2 or gestational diabetes, like the general population, can have circulating autoantibodies in the absence of overt autoimmunity. Like the general…"
"If a person is diagnosed as having diabetes (bg > 125 mg/dl fasting, meets criteria) and is antibody positive, the person has Type 1 autoimmune diabetes, and yes it is definitive. DiverDon has been diagnosed as having diabetes, so if DD is…"
Tom T replied to DiverDon's discussion 'New diagnosis....no answers yet....a little frustrating'"No, it's not definitive. Circulating autoantibodies are found in non-diabetic individuals, typically several % of the general population, and much much higher in first-degree relatives of T1s. Many of these individuals will never go on to…"
