Brief description Diabetes is diagnosed using clinical assessment complemented by a few selected basic conventional laboratory tests. We plan to determine, in a representative community-based sample of Australian with diabetes, whether additional knowledge of genetic markers, diabetes-related antibody levels and tests of insulin secretory capacity adds to diagnosis of diabetes type, prediction of therapeutic progression over time, complications and death.
