Abstract:
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is still a poorly characterized entity. However, its prevalence may be higher than that of classical type 1 diabetes. Patients with LADA are often misclassified as type 2 diabetes. The underlying autoimmune process against β-cell has important consequences for the prognosis, comorbidities, treatment choices and even patient-reported outcomes with this diabetes subtype. However, there is still an important gap of knowledge in many areas of clinical relevance. We are herein focusing on the state of knowledge of relevant clinical issues than may help in the diagnosis and management of subjects with LADA.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
