Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

The test showed slightly elevated levels of TTG antibodies. The consultant wants to repeat these antibodies in 3-6 months time to determine clinical significance. In our letter it said "marginally elevated...
