I was firstly diagnosed with LADA, but very quickly - when all the tests came back, it was changed to T1D. Everything changed after that diagnosis. It imminent that we all take this disease one day at a time. I know, easier said than done. But it gets too complicated if you get ahead of yourself. Hope you have a good endo team, I do. I wish you well & will be praying for you.

Good morning! I am Lada as well. I have a phobia about needles so having to start insulin was extremely scary for me. I take 2 different insulin daily, 5 shots a day. Just take one step at a time. I'm always here if you need to chat. Take care

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), also called type 1.5 diabetes, is a form of diabetes where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It develops more slowly than type 1 diabetes and is often diagnosed in adults between 30 and 50. While you may initially produce some insulin, treatment often progresses to insulin therapy. Work closely with your healthcare team to manage blood sugar and prevent complications.
