title: Experience of the introduction of routine antibody testing in primary care and of running a trial for latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA).
abstract: This brief report discusses the introduction of routine Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody (GADA) testing in primary care for newly diagnosed diabetes. GADA testing is well used and the majority of people found to be positive are initiated on insulin rapidly and progress to require a basal bolus regime.
