Abstract
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in the Adult, LADA has been investigated less than “classical”
type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the criteria for and the relevance of a LADA diagnosis have been
challenged. Despite the absence of a genetic background that is exclusive for LADA this form of diabetes
displays phenotypic characteristics that distinguish it from other forms of diabetes. LADA is
heterogeneous in terms of the impact of autoimmunity and lifestyle factors, something that poses
problems to therapy and follow-up, perhaps particularly in those with marginal positivity. Yet, there
appears to be clear clinical utility in classifying individuals as LADA.
