How is Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosed?
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune condition where the body attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin is necessary to process glucose from food. The disease progresses in stages, with each stage marked by specific criteria.

0 Autoantibodies: Low or no risk for TID.
1 Autoantibody: Medium risk.
Re-test at a later date.
