What is INSULIN ANTIBODIES?

Why is this test important?

Detecting insulin antibodies is crucial for diagnosing Type 1 Diabetes, especially in its early stages, and differentiating it from other forms of diabetes. It also helps assess the risk of developing autoimmune conditions related to insulin.
