Thank you for sharing - really interesting to see this. I was also diagnosed in my 30s and therefore class myself as LADA (or Type 1.5). Feels like progress that there is now further research into the time taken for the autoimmune system to impact the production of insulin.
Ah brilliant, glad you found it interesting too. Yes I thought I would be told LADA but they have put under classification on diagnosis, type 1. I’m wondering if the gp/hospital still go along the lines of two types of diabetes one and two? Very frustrating! Was treated as type 2 for two long years and finally got cpeptide and anti gad tested one, strong positive anti gad and islet cells. 4 months on Repaglinide and then now insulin, my poor immune system took a bash and tipped me over I think.
My grandmother was also in her 30s when diagnosed type 1 many years ago now.
My gp still refuses to acknowledge type 1..told me several times I am type 2. I hope the more research that is done and the more knowledge is made widely available going forward treatment will be better for people that don’t fit the classic type 1 as a child. We all face the same obstacles and trials and tribulations as diabetics. If they could clarify with more detail each type I think it’ll help going forwards.
