Also, 'LADA is not included in international guidelines for classification/treatment.'

They classify type 1 and type 2 based on the following:
Gold standard type 1 diabetes was defined as continuous insulin treatment within 3 years of diagnosis and absolute insulin deficiency c-peptide (UCPCR<0.2 nmol/mmol; all others classed as having type 2 diabetes.
