[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1755463, member: 21149"] Hi. As far as pancreatic beta cell death is concerned it can be caused by viruses etc as well as antibodies. The end result and treatment is the same so I would class all of them as LADA even though LADA is strictly (and not very sensibly) named from the antibody cause. I would suggest many T2 people who are thin and with high blood sugar are in fact LADA and not T2. This is a big problem due to rather silly definitions of diabetes types and the recent five new classifications are just as daft. The c-peptide test is more useful then GAD in highlighting beta cell death and hence the right treatment; the cause being largely irrelevant. I would suggest the OP should ask for a c-peptide test and go from there. [/QUOTE]
