Message: <blockquote data-quote="Billy H" data-source="post: 2622242" data-attributes="member: 519815">Late Onset Type 1 doesn't exist - it's a diagnosis terminology for Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), and sometimes called Type 1.5 because the symptoms sit between types 1 and 2.The easiest way to confirm this diagnosis to get your GP to take a blood test for GADA antibodies - that's the test for Type 1 and LADA. Another indicator (but not essential) is the presence of other autoimmune conditions - I have alopicia and Pernicious anemia. It was when researching alopicia that I discovered LADA and chased up my GP because I had uncontrollable Type 2 for 4 years prior.</blockquote>
