Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in your pancreas' ability to function normally. However, when antibodies target this enzyme, they are called GAD antibodies ( A protein that your immune system uses to fight viruses or bacteria that are prominent for being harmful to human bodies).
Sometimes, the immune system makes antibodies that mistakenly attack normal cells, which are not harmful, resulting in an autoimmune disorder. And research says that almost 75% of people with type 1 diabetes have GAD antibodies in their blood.
A Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies Test determines whether a patient has type 1 diabetes or adult-onset latent autoimmune diabetes. This test is effective for patients over 30 who have diabetes. It primarily distinguishes type 1 diabetes from diabetes. As a result, getting tested for GAD-65 antibodies is critical for avoiding future health problems. Also, its relation to diabetes determines that it affects your whole body, and without going for a GA-65 antibody test , you cannot think of a healthy life.
After acknowledging these signs and symptoms, it is time to get alert and book a gad 65 blood test for your own better health.
