If you are one of the millions of Americans with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), you may not even know it. You may be one of the ten percent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who actually have LADA. Even if you do know that you have LADA, sometimes called diabetes 1.5, youre likely to be inundated with unhelpful advice and potentially harmful treatments, leaving you feeling confused and overwhelmed. That was Jacqueline Haskins experience. After visiting five doctors before getting helpful guidance, and realizing there wasnt a friendly how-to book meant for the general public about LADAshe decided to write one.
