Islet autoimmunity in young First Nations women with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
The proportion of individual autoantibody positivity among younger First Nations women with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes was 9%. Islet autoantibody positivity was not associated with a distinct clinical phenotype in this group. Longitudinal follow-up will allow assessment of glycaemic trajectories and clinical outcomes in younger First Nations women.
