Several aspects of this invention relate to diagnosis of diabetic states in a mammal using protein isoforms. In some aspects, it relates to a method for determining the diabetic state of a mammal. This method can include, for example, (a) measuring the serum concentration of one or more protein isoforms, (b) analyzing the serum concentration of the one or more protein isoforms, and (c) determining the diabetic state of the mammal. Other aspects include kits used to perform the method. Further aspects are the isolated protein isoforms themselves, and their methods of isolation.
