Antibodies, What Does It Mean?

This image from www.scielo.br shows the connection between the how many autoantibodies you have and the risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes.

If you are positive for two antibodies your risk of developing T1D within 10 years is 70%.

If you are positive for GAD65, which is one of the three/four major T1D antigens and diagnosed within 3 months you could be eligible for the Diamyd GAD65 Phase III trial.
