Abstrakt: This article explores the topic of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), a form of diabetes that combines characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The article emphasizes the need for standardized diagnostic criteria and recommends autoantibody testing for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. The management of LADA is still uncertain, and further research is necessary to determine the most effective interventions. The article also acknowledges the variability in the progression and long-term outcomes of LADA patients. The authors call for more scientific research and international collaborations to address the unanswered questions surrounding LADA and ultimately benefit those affected by the condition.
