Is There Type 1 Diabetes Versus Type 2 Diabetes?

When someone comes in with a new high glucose and they don't match that illness script, that's when you start thinking about could there be something else. So I usually do a GAD 65, which is an antibody, which is sensitive and specific for type 1 diabetes. You can also do a zinc transporter race, which is another lab as well. And testing for CPEPTIDE level can confirm the diagnosis about whether or not the pancreas is making insulin. Typically, levels are going to be low in type 1 Diabetes.
