I)
find the prevalence of various types of
diabetes; 2) determine the prevalence of glutamate decarboxylase autoantibody (anti-GAD) and 3)
identify clinical characteristics which may help in predicting insulin deficiency in young Thai
adults with diabetes.
Subjects consisted of 93 adults with diabetes mellitus aged 15-40 years. In each subject,
basal and post glucagon C-peptide levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. Anti-GAD was
measured by radioimmunoassay and mitochondrial 3243 tRNA
