Background: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) is an autoimmune organ-specific disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations, in which the β cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans are destroyed by the action of autoreactive T lymphocytes and the formation of autoantibodies against β cell components. Among used serological markers of T1D, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GAD65), anti-tyrosine phosphatase antibodies (IA2), islet cell antibodies (ICA), insulin autoantibodies (IAA) and anti-zinc transporter antibodies (Zn-T8) are of great significance.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze presence of type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies (GAD65, IA2, ICA, IAA and Zn-T8 and effects of age and gender on their occurrence in pediatric population.

- * Results revealed significant differences in several blood parameters, including glucose, HbA1c, and erythrocyte counts, with some correlations found between erythrocytes and HbA1c levels.
- * The findings suggest that diabetic children may develop anemia and show changes in red blood cell characteristics, highlighting the potential of hematological indices as a cost-effective tool for monitoring diabetes in children.
