Understanding Type 1.5 Diabetes
Millions of adults are affected by a lesser-known form of diabetes, often referred to as "type 1.5" diabetes or Latent Auto-immune Diabetes (LADA).
LADA shares similarities with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, making it challenging to diagnose. Despite being recognized as a distinct form of diabetes since 1993, it is often misdiagnosed, with
as many as 14 per cent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetespotentially having LADA instead.
Type 1.5 diabetes, or LADA, accounts for 3-12 per cent of all cases of diabetes in adults and is characterized by an excess of sugar, or glucose, in the blood.
A recent study highlights the need for accurate diagnosis to ensure proper treatment and care for those affected by this condition.
Author's summary: Type 1.5 diabetes affects millions, often misdiagnosed as type 2.
