Prognosis - About 80% of all persons initially diagnosed with type 2, who also have GAD antibodies, will become insulin dependent within 6 years. Those with both GAD and IA2 antibodies will become insulin dependent sooner. LADA occurs slowly, but progresses towards insulin dependency.[5]

I tested positive for these also.

Probably from some external factor like eating to many sweets when I was young.

If I could have only not been so lazy and over eaten.
