INSULIN ANTIBODIES

The insulin antibodies test detects the presence of antibodies against insulin in the blood. This test is used to diagnose and monitor autoimmune diabetes, such as type 1 diabetes, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells. A positive result indicates the presence of insulin autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune diabetes. The test is valuable for identifying individuals at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the effectiveness of immunotherapy. It provides important information for managing autoimmune diabetes and preventing complications.
