Getting Type 1 as an Adult - LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) – Featuring Mila Clarke Buckley

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR DIABETES® - THE PODCAST! ...With Expert Endocrinologists Living with T1D, Drs. Steven V. Edelman & Jeremy Pettus

Mila Clarke Buckley—or as you might know her, The Hangry Woman—is joining us to talk about LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults), which is just a fancy term for getting type 1 diabetes as an adult. Mila shares her story of originally being misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes and how she had to advocate for herself to get the correct T1D diagnosis. As 50% of people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes are actually adults, it’s important to know the symptoms of LADA to make sure you are diagnosed correctly. 

Questions We’ll Cover in This Episode:

• What is LADA?
• Why is LADA hard to diagnose?
• What are symptoms I can look out for with LADA?
• Is there a way to test for Type 1 even if I’ve had it for a while?
• What can I do if I think I’ve been misdiagnosed?
