Understanding Type 1.5 Diabetes
Millions of adults are affected by a lesser-known form of diabetes, often referred to as "type 1.5" or Latent Auto-Immune Diabetes (LADA).
The symptoms of LADA are similar to those of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, making it challenging to diagnose.
- Type 1.5 diabetes, or LADA, is a distinct form of diabetes that has been medically recognized since 1993.
- It accounts for 3-12% of all diabetes cases in adults.
- LADA is often misdiagnosed, with up to 14% of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes potentially having LADA instead.
Like type 1 and 2 diabetes, LADA is classed as a disorder of too much sugar, or glucose, in the blood.
Author's summary: Type 1.5 diabetes affects millions, often misdiagnosed as type 2.
