Slowly evolving immune-mediated diabetes, or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), is a form of diabetes that exhibits clinical features similar to both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), [3] [4] and is sometimes referred to as type 1.5 diabetes. [5]
KPD is a condition that involves DKA like type 1, but occurs later in life and can regain beta cell function like type 2 diabetes. However, it is distinct from latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA), a form of type 1 sometimes referred to as type 1.5 that does not occur with DKA. [1]

Not many medical physicians know about LADA in the U.S.,; there's only the basic Type 1 diabetes or Type 2 diabetes. Also, not many magazines about diabetes publish info related to latent autoimmune diabetes. There should be more information about latent autoimmune diabetes than there is now.

1,5-Anhydroglucitol, also known as 1,5-AG, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in nearly all foods. Blood concentrations of 1,5-anhydroglucitol decrease during times of hyperglycemia above 180 mg/dL, and return to normal levels after approximately 2 weeks in the absence of hyperglycemia.
Autoimmune diseases can result in systemic or localized symptoms, depending on the given disease. [8] Typical systemic symptoms include fevers, fatigue, muscle aches, joint pain, and rashes; these can be seen in diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Other autoimmune diseases have localized effects on specific organ or tissue types.
