Figure 4
Figure 4 Correlation of FCP level and GAD-Ab index in LADA patients. The X-axis represented GAD-Ab index that ranged from 0.05 to 1.91 and the Y-axis showed the FCP that ranged from 111 to 1 194 pmol/L of 45 LADA patients at enrollment. The scatter diagram showed us that these two factors were negatively correlated (r = -0.483, P = 0.001), which meant that the LADA patients with much higher GAD-Ab titer would face more risk of islet function failure.
