The In-Between Diagnosis: LADA Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe latent autoimmune diabetes in adults — type 1.5 — and the diagnostic gap it falls into. Writers describe being placed in the wrong box, the metformin that helped and then did not, the weight loss that was praised instead of investigated, and the long campaign to be given a GAD antibody test and a C-peptide. There are the clinicians who listened and the ones who did not, the slow slide toward insulin and the grief and relief of finally starting it, and the new arithmetic of basal doses, carbohydrate ratios and continuous glucose monitors learned in middle age. The volume covers the honeymoon period and its ending, the identity confusion of belonging to neither camp, and the harder cases where the answer arrived only after ketoacidosis, or never settled at all.

Who it's for

For adults whose type 2 diagnosis has stopped making sense, people newly identified with LADA, and clinicians who want to hear how often the in-between diagnosis is missed.
