PREVIEW

A number of patients with poor glycemic control receive the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes despite the fact that they do not exhibit some of the traditional characteristics of the disease, such as obesity. A more accurate diagnosis for many of these patients is latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood (LADA). In this article, Dr Nabhan and coauthors describe features that LADA has in common with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as those that distinguish LADA from these more widely recognized forms of diabetes. The authors also describe the pathogenesis of the disease, potential complications, and treatment options.
