I’m 24 years old and very thin. I was misdiagnosed with type w diabetes two years ago. Recently, my doctor indicated that I’m a type 1.5 diabetic, but isn’t sure which type. Can I get an anti-GAD test to clarify whether I have LADA or MODY? In my country, it’s very difficult to have the genetic test for MODY. I’m not sure whether LADA is autoimmune and MODY is genetic. Does this mean my children could develop MODY more easily than LADA?
