Abstract:
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) is an autoimmune form of type 1 diabetes mellitus presenting in adulthood. It is often confused with other types of diabetes and therefore the management is frequently inadequate. Acute hyperglycemic crisis in the form of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are unusual findings. We report a clinical case of a 66-year-old female who presented for the first time with DKA and was subsequently diagnosed as a case of LADA. Presumptive diagnosis of LADA was confirmed with the presence of autoantibody to glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (Anti-GAD65 antibody).
