Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a slow progressive autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. This condition tends to manifest during adulthood, often around 35 years of age. While LADA can initially be managed by oral medications, eventually the patient will require insulin. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who was initially treated for type 2 diabetes mellitus but was later diagnosed with LADA.
成人隐匿性自身免疫性糖尿病（LADA）是一种胰腺β细胞缓慢进行性自身免疫性破坏疾病。这种病症往往在成年期出现，通常在35岁左右。虽然LADA最初可以通过口服药物控制，但最终患者将需要胰岛素治疗。我们报告一例34岁女性病例，该患者最初被诊断为2型糖尿病，后来被诊断为LADA。
