What is LADA Diabetes? The Autoimmune Diabetes Doctors Often Miss

5 to 20% of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes actually have LADA — Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults — and it often takes years before they get the correct diagnosis. If your A1C keeps climbing despite doing everything "right," this video explains why, and what to ask your doctor. I'm Linnea May Huxford, author of Success with LADA Diabetes, and I was misdiagnosed for years before getting on the right treatment. In this video I break down what LADA actually is, why it gets confused with Type 2, the two blood tests that can confirm it (GAD 65 autoantibody panel + C-peptide), and the signs your diagnosis might be wrong. 🎯 FREE: The LADA Doctor Checklist Heading to your doctor?
