Hi all Newbie here, don't know if this question's been asked before.
I'm curious as my dad was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2008/2009 when he was about 52, so I'm pretty sure he's got LADA.
So is LADA hereditary?
I've seen some articles suggesting that LADA has properties of Type 1 and 2, so maybe the heritability from type 1 is possible?
Also, LADA is an autoimmune disease, so technically, it can just be as hereditary as other autoimmune disease? or not?
Some articles I've read also suggest that most common LADA occurs in the 35+ age group, so if it's hereditary then I won't need to worry about it until I'm 35+?
I did have a blood test for Type 1 when my dad was diagnosed, but the test came out -ve. So I'm also wondering how much the GPs know about LADA?
Thanks guys
