What does LAR1 mean?
LAR1, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults type 1, refers to a subtype of diabetes that shares characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It typically occurs in adults and is characterized by the presence of autoimmune markers, leading to progressive insulin deficiency. LAR1 often presents with a slower onset than classic type 1 diabetes, making it sometimes misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes initially.

A GAD blood test measures the levels of antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), an enzyme involved in insulin production in the pancreas.

Elevated GAD antibodies may indicate an autoimmune response that affects insulin production, aiding in the differentiation of Type 1 diabetes from Type 2 diabetes.

Yes - but only type 1 (childhood) which is virally caused resulting in autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet cells which secrete Insulin.
