Core Tip

Core tip: A unique combination of, immunological, clinical and metabolic characteristics has been identified in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) patients. Even so, the current definition of LADA fails to capture in one snapshot insulin resistance and autoimmunity, this very special pathognomonic characteristic of LADA. Addressing this dual facet of LADA would undoubtedly provide insight into disease pathogenesis and help in the immediate identification and prompt insulin therapy.
