Many Who Have Type 2 Diabetes May Be Suffering From a Different Disease : The Hearty Soul

Type 2 diabetes is a common diagnosis for adults with high blood sugar, but many may actually have Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). This autoimmune disorder shares characteristics with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, often leading to misdiagnosis. Despite similarities, LADA progresses differently, often requiring insulin therapy sooner. Failure to recognize LADA early can result in ineffective treatment and worsening symptoms. It’s crucial to understand the signs of LADA and consider antibody testing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
