LADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults, is a misunderstood form of diabetes that shares characteristics with both Type 1 and Type 2 but requires specific identification and management. This deep dive explores what makes LADA unique, from its autoimmune nature and gradual onset to specialized testing and treatment approaches that can protect remaining insulin-producing cells.

• LADA is characterized by a slow autoimmune attack on pancreas cells, unlike the rapid onset of Type 1 diabetes
• Proper diagnosis requires antibody tests and C-peptide measurements to distinguish from Type 2
• Early insulin therapy can help preserve remaining beta cells rather than waiting until they're destroyed
• Treatment combines insulin, medications like metformin and GLP-1 agonists, diet and exercise
• Misdiagnosis as Type 2 can lead to inadequate treatment and accelerated disease progression
• Future treatments in development include immunotherapies and potential beta cell regeneration
• Building a support network and managing emotional health are crucial components of living well with LADA
• Finding enjoyable physical activities and focusing on whole, unprocessed foods helps maintain stability
