It also tends to develop more slowly than type 1 diabetes in childhood and, because LADA can sometimes appear similar to Type-2 Diabetes, doctors may mistakenly diagnose LADA as type 2 diabetes. LADA is sometimes referred to as type 1.5 diabetes to illustrate the fact that LADA is a form of type 1 diabetes that shares characteristics with type 2 diabetes. As a form of type 1 diabetes, LADA is an autoimmune disease in which the body\u2019s immune system attacks and kills off insulin producing cells.<\/p>\n<p>The slower onset of Diabetes symptoms being presented in people over 35 years may lead a GP to initially diagnose a case of LADA as type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of LADA:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The initial symptoms of LADA include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regularly tired after meals<\/li>\n<li>Foggy headedness<\/li>\n<li>Experiencing hunger soon after meals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As LADA develops, a person\u2019s ability to produce insulin will gradually decrease and this may lead to symptoms such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased thirst<\/li>\n<li>Frequent urination<\/li>\n<li>Blurred vision<\/li>\n<li>Tingling nerves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to catch the symptoms at the earliest stage because diagnosis of LADA at a later stage increases the risk of developing diabetes complications.<\/p>\n<p>Having tingling nerves can be a sign of neuropathy (nerve disease) and need to be attended and checked by a HCP immediately.<\/p>\n<p>According to the UK Prospective Diabetes Study found that antibodies specific to LADA cases are found in between 6% and 10% of diabetes cases. Amongst people diagnosed with diabetes at an age younger than 35 years old, LADA may account for up to 25% of cases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3626"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3626"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3627,"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3626\/revisions\/3627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/diabetes.org.kw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
