A Case of Late Diagnosis of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults.

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a type of autoimmune diabetes that begins in adulthood (usually after the age of 35 years); its main feature is the presence of diabetes-associated autoantibodies (most often autoantibody against glutamic acid decarboxylase), which leads to progressive destruction of the islets of Langerhans. This is a heterogeneous condition that presents with clinical and laboratory manifestations common to type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. We report a case of a 71-year-old man diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago, poorly controlled with oral antidiabetic therapy, and worsening in the third year.
