FAQ
What is Type 1.5 Diabetes Mellitus?
Classically diabetes has been classified as Type I and Type II depending upon their insulin dependence. But in case of immune related diabetes as in case of LADA, it shows symptoms of both type I and Type II diabetes so it is also identified as Type 1.5 diabetes (T1.5DM).
Why does someone need to detect ZnT8 antibodies if the person is already diagnosed with other type diabetes earlier?
This test allows doctors to differentiate the clinical phenotypes within the group of adult onset diabetes and assist them with creating a treatment plan. If a person is diagnosed with T1DM earlier and later shows symptoms of T2DM, this may indicate the presence of LADA. If identified at an early stage, this condition can be managed better.
What are autoantibodies?
Autoantibodies are antibodies that are formed by the immune system against the body's own cellular proteins/antigens. The immune system loses its ability to identify self & non-self or in some cases get sensitized towards self-antigens. These antibodies are formed in certain autoimmune diseases and it destroys the body's own cells/tissues leading to severe health issues.
