Introduction: We aimed to characterise and compare individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), in a real-world setting.

Methods: Anthropometric and clinical data from 36 959 people with diabetes diagnosed at age 30-70 years enrolled in the prospective diabetes patients follow-up (DPV) registry from 1995 to 2022 were analysed cross-sectionally at diagnosis and follow-up (≥6 months after diagnosis). LADA was defined as clinical diagnosis of T2D, positivity of ≥1 islet autoantibody and an insulin-free interval of ≥6 months upon diabetes diagnosis.
