Ever heard of LADA?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, experiencing unusual symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination<\/a>, and fatigue. You might dismiss it as aging or Type 2 diabetes, but LADA has its unique features.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s Latent Autoimmune Diabetes or <\/span>LADA<\/span><\/a>. It’s not a common term, but it’s another type of adult diabetes. LADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults, is distinct from Type 1 and Type 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
