Abstract

The prevalence of autoimmune diabetes was assessed in 113 indigenous and 1555 non-indigenous participants in the Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II. Both type 1 diabetes (3.5% vs. 8.2%) and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults diagnosed based on glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) positivity (1.0% vs. 5.7%) were lower in Aboriginal participants (P = 0.101 and 0.039 respectively). Six Aboriginals with GADA-negative type 2 diabetes were positive for tyrosine phosphatase-related islet antigen 2 antibodies but did not exhibit relative insulin deficiency.
