Share Your LADA Diabetes Story

LADA Diabetes, often referred to as Type 1.5, is a unique form of diabetes that often remains unrecognized or misdiagnosed as Type 2. Each individual’s journey with LADA is distinct, filled with challenges, insights, and personal triumphs. By sharing your story, you offer hope, knowledge, and solidarity to others navigating a similar path.

We’re particularly interested in hearing about your diagnosis, the treatments that have worked for you, the struggles you’ve faced, and any other personal insights or experiences that could benefit the wider LADA community.

Below are three optional questions to guide your storytelling. Additionally, we’ve provided a space for you to write freely, sharing whatever you believe will help others in their LADA journey.
