Good stuff! I was actually diagnosed correctly from the start by a doctor in the ER who recognized the differences in symptoms mentioned. I had DKA presenting around 500s at 29. I can't imagine the frustration others may have felt. The education posted in videos like this really assist doctors in questioning their own biases. I asked the ER doc how she arrived at this conclusion so quickly. She mentioned she had CE three months prior on LADA. It really shows how badly this info needs to be distributed.

My pancrease nearly quit in 2001 I nearly died. 2022 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and diverticulitis and congestive heart disease. It’s been a rolercoaster. I’ve got a pacemaker. It’s very hard to regulate my. Glucose I’ve had to give up the good stuff I’m 71 yrs I’ve had a good life but I’m not giving up my wife and daughter help me a lot. 😊the latest grand daughter is such an angel she takes to me a lot!! I’ve got 2 girls and 2 sons I’m proud of them all. We have a nurse and a doctor in our family god has been real good to us. Your story helped me a lot! Thank you.

When I was diagnosed in ‘21 at 25 years old they tested for GAD and my C peptide. While on the lower side, my C peptide was still technically in a normal range. But there was a presence of GAD which sealed my fate. It was probably 6 months of Lantas and then full MDI after that. Decently fast progression. Thanks for the informative video, as much as I hate being diabetic I do really enjoy learning more and more about it.

Thanks so much this is the best explanation by far I have come across for LADA. I was miss diagnosed as type 2 for 5 years before experiencing DKA and ending up in ICU where I was diagnosed with LADA. It sure has been a steep learning curve since diagnosis nearly 4 years ago but so grateful for access to information like on TCOYD even on the other side of the world. In Australia. Keep up the great work team. Debbie

it's crazy that I was diagnosed with this exactly at the time you uploaded this video

Going through blood work right now for all this 😩 doc mentioned perhaps its diabetes. I'm losing so much weight, today I'm 127 and just end of February was 145. A year ago and a half from today i was 200 lbs. I just keep going down and not trying to. I did start watching what i ate my i feel once i hit 150 there was no reason to lose more. I eat, i do. Last two days ive intentionally ate so much more and I'm stil at 127. I have lupus, so i figured this was all lupus related. But now I'm itching, slow to heal, the brain fog is so much worse, so fatigued for the last 4 months, when the 6 months prior i thought i was feeling "better". Oh and the last 4 months, blurry or hazy vision, like feels i have watery eyes but they arent watery, longer to focus ugh. Oh and been on my period for 10 weeks. I never thought this could be diabetes related, just lupus or something. I was really shocked to hear possible diabetes from the doc. I should get a call soon this week with results. Its driving me a bit crazy now 😭

I am a 49 year old male. Was misdiagnosed one year ago on T2D (but just slightly overweight with BMI still below 30) and finally yesterday got the diagnosed with Lada, after blood panel test on all antibodies(3 values to high).

Thank you! Great information, best I've come across and very helpful to me...diagnosed with LADA age 71 so came as a bit of a shock but coping with it.

This lecture is phenomenal. Thank you.

This is so helpful! I put my symptoms into ChatGPT and it spit out LADA. my primary doctor wasn’t familiar with it

Great info. I wish I could carry this around and play for people so they understand that despite the age of onset, it is not a reversible lifestyle induced condition. Thankfully my endocrinologist is excellent and I was diagnosed correctly (sky hi gada, and lada is my 3rd autoimmune dx). But it did take some prodding on my part to get diagnosed. After a few years of strict carb reduction and monitoring Im now on a pump and cgm. Thankful for this technology but having to think about it 24/7 is a bummer. Also gaining 15 lbs once insulin started is another bummer (bmi is still normal). Also, my a1c does not 'track' properly in the words of my doc. Makes it all more difficult. Wonder if anyone else has this issue?

No mention of measuring C peptide and fasting Insulin diagnostic for Type I and very helpful in LADA or did I just miss it? I know most ordinary doctors hardly ever look at them and don't often know how to interpret them but I know that's not the case for endocrinologists?

Hi thanks for the helpful video, would you please find time please to answers couple of my questions. I appreciate it very much. I am 44, 193, 93kg, was diagnosed with LADA two months ago, where my zinc transporter was the only antibody that was high. (127RE/ml). And I got into hospital with 730 sugar. I assume I am now in that honeymoon phase. I take only basal (4-5IE) once in the morning, my CGM average now 6,2 and 123, so it is all ok for now, waiting for the future to come. But anyways. Can you assume how long it can that remission take/remain with only zinc being high ? Or how slow or fast are the Beta cells destroyed with only zinc transporter antibodies present ? I find online only how long it may last if you have GAD positive, or IAA (months or years), nothing about zinc transporter ? Is there any study on how fast it gets destroyed with those zinc Transporter antibodies? Or there is no ways to predict something like this? Or what test would help to get the info? And than, if I may, i am now 2 months into Lada and i still have symptoms, like tingling in hands and feet, dry itchy skin, blurred vision. Are those symptoms for ever, or can I somehow get rid of them, or can I do something against them and if yes, what? everybody is mentioning these symptoms but that’s all, nothing about how to treat them. Thank you very very much

hi! I was diagnosed type 2 when I was 25. But after a few years I was put on insulin because the pills werent keeping me controlled. I lost 60 pounds! Then I started going into DKA every year. Now I am 37, My doctor says I *probably* have lada, and now i have afib, high blood pressure and have to see a kidney specialist.

My Docs have been going back an forward with this diagnosis, it's frustrating. I don't haven energy and could not be thinner.

I am 34 yrs old, got gestational diabetes at 29 and have been prediabetic ever since. I am normal, actually on the lower side of weight since I lost 10 pounds while on metformin.. I was tested for type 1 and ñada and came negative 😢 my a1c it’s 6.1 and fasting insulin 8. Before starting metformin a1c was 5.9 and insulin 6.9 😢 I been tested for a couple genes for mody and came negative too

Can a person be lada and not show antibodies? I was immunotherapy for a year(keytruda) then my thyroid went in my last 3 infusions,,,then a few months after my pancreas,,,deemed type 2,,, on orals,,,then a couple months later type 1.5,,, saw different doctors and next said type 2 because of antibody tests,,,but on insulin, 4 times a day basil and bolus,,, and trying ozimpic in the event type 2,,waiting to see a endocrinologist ,,, but 1 doc says type 2 one says type 1.5 and diabetic educator says I have parts of 1 and 2,,, (also I got white hair blotches I think from the keytruda ) ,,,

Hi, I am 34 and I was tested for DM last year with Hba1c of 6.9, I am as of today at 6.6 with following a regular diet plan and daily exercise, I did my fasting C-peptide today first time and it 0.52 ng/ml against a normal range of 0.8-3.8, I am lean, doc said he is sure I am type 2, waht do you think?, thanks.

If one was tested for type 1 and lada gad 65 antibodies and came negative.. is it possible to develop it overtime since I don’t fit in the perfil for type 2? I was tested for mody too. Negative. Metformin hasn’t move my numbers, actually my a1c went from 5.9 to 6.1 while on it

my c-peptide is ...0.6 after lunch...am i...? im using only insulin injection...and im 50, diagnosed as diabetics 4 years ago...

I’m going to ask my doctor about LADA because I’ve been having similar symptoms for years now. Is it possible for LADA to be triggered by pregnancy. These symptoms really kicked off after I began having children at 25

Is it possible to get LADA at 23 years old and need insulin right away?

I had a GAD test the result was 5 does that mean I have lada

Good information but no empathy and very negative way of putting out things, which can increase worries in patient with LADA
