Abstract
The present study revealed that the most common auto-antibody found in those patients was the GADA, it was found in 94.4% of patients, while ICA and IAA were found in 83.3% and 66.7 % respectively.
The present study also showed a high statistically significant positive correlation between GADA level and HbA1c levels (r = 0.361**,P=0.005) on the other hand there was a highly statistically significant negative correlation between GADA level and the duration of diabetes mellitus (r =-0.437**,P=0.000) also it revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between IAA level and HbA1c level (r =0.305*, P=0.018).
By doing the multivariate regression analyses we found that HbA1c level, total number of insulin units per day and the duration of developing diabetes mellitus were significant predictive factors for the presence of diabetes autoantibodies; (P=0.007), (P=0.033) and (P=0.043) respectively.
