Adult-onset autoimmune disease known as latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) does not require insulin for glycemic management during the first six months following diagnosis. Although LADA is frequently misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes, it has genetic, immunologic, and metabolic characteristics with both types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (T2DM). Similar to type 2 diabetes, lifestyle modifications may halt the advancement of LADA, as the condition is caused by multiple unknown variables.
