The Diabetes Type 1 Profile is important for the early detection and management of Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This profile provides essential insights into the body's ability to produce insulin and helps identify autoimmune markers that may indicate the development of Type 1 diabetes.

The profile includes tests such as GAD antibodies, Islet Cell Antibodies, IA2, Insulin Antibody Total, Fasting Insulin, and C-Peptide. These tests work together to detect the presence of antibodies that target insulin-producing cells and assess insulin production. Early identification of Type 1 diabetes allows for timely intervention, improving long-term health outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.
