Abstract

Laboratory investigations in clinical diabetic practice Abstract. Laboratory analysis are useful to diagnose the proper form of diabetes mellitus, for follow-up of the metabolic control, and to identify secondary complications or associated diseases. The proof of auto-antibodies confirms Type 1 diabetes and a broad range of endocrine entities of the polyglandular autoimmune syndrome, and genetic testing classifies monogenetic diabetes like MODY or MIDDM. In secondary diabetes forms underlying disease can be detected by clinical and laboratory investigation, and thus, causal treatment of the diabetes may be possible.
