Patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) usually develop autoantibodies to insulin when treated by chronic insulin injection. Antibodies titers and affinities vary, but the similarity of porcine and human insulin structures are such that most antibodies crossreact with these species. This assay is designed to assess lower titers of autoantibodies in diabetic patients as well as detecting insulin autoAntibodies in prediabetic patients and patients with other autoimmune disorders.
