5/5

Detect the risk of developing type 1 diabetes by measuring the 4 main autoantibodies with this test. Early detection is key. Stay ahead of the disease at home with results and medical interpretation.

IAA
AAIs are often among the first autoantibodies to appear when the immune system starts attacking the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Early detection allows the risk of developing type 1 diabetes to be assessed before symptoms appear.
GADA
The presence of these antibodies is one of the most frequent and persistent markers of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes. They are detected in approximately the majority of people with recent onset of the disease and can appear long before clinical symptoms become apparent, making them a valuable tool for early detection.
IA-2A
It is a key marker of the autoimmune response against beta cells. Detecting it, especially in combination with other autoantibodies, indicates an increased risk of disease progression. Its early identification allows better monitoring of the risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
ZnT8A
Detection of these autoantibodies not only identifies autoimmunity against beta cells, but also helps to improve risk assessment in people with only a single positive autoantibody (GADA, IAA or IA-2A). Their presence provides additional information for more accurate risk stratification for type 1 diabetes.

The antibody test for type 1 diabetes analyses the presence of several autoantibodies together, rather than in isolation, giving a more reliable picture of the risk of disease progression. Detecting them before symptoms appear gives a more accurate picture of autoimmunity.

THE TYPE 1 DIABETES TEST IS FOR YOU IF...

  • You have a family first-degree relatives (father, mother or siblings) with type 1 diabetes.
  • Presentas risk factors such as autoimmune diseases (coeliac disease or Addison's disease).
  • Presentas symptoms such as frequent urination, severe thirst or unexplained weight loss.
  • You have obtained a positive result in a genetic test for type 1 diabetes and you want to monitor your autoantibody levels.

Frequently asked questions about this test

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body stops producing insulin, requiring treatment with exogenous insulin from diagnosis. It usually appears in childhood or adolescence, although it can also occur in adults. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, develops through insulin resistance and is more lifestyle-related. It can be controlled with diet, exercise, oral medication and, in some cases, exogenous insulin. It is more common in adults, but can also occur in young people with risk factors.

It is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the pancreatic beta cells responsible for insulin production. As a result, the body loses its ability to regulate blood glucose levels.

Symptoms include excessive thirst, increased frequency of urination, constant hunger, unexplained weight loss, extreme fatigue and blurred vision. Irritability, weakness and, in more advanced cases, fruity-smelling breath due to ketosis may also occur.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D1) has a genetic and environmental component. Having first-degree relatives with T1D or other autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis, celiac disease or Addison's disease increases the risk, especially if the HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR4 genes are present. Environmental factors such as viral infections, alterations in the gut microbiota and certain elements in the early diet can trigger the autoimmune response.

It is not necessary to perform the test on an empty stomach, as this test measures antibodies associated with the disease, and blood sugar levels do not affect the test result. Unlike the fasting glucose test, which tests blood sugar levels, diagnostic tests for type 1 diabetes look for autoimmune markers, such as autoantibodies against beta cells in the pancreas. Therefore, you can test at any time of the day without your diet influencing the results.
