LADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults, is a slower-progressing form of diabetes that affects 2% to 14% of diabetes patients and shares characteristics of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the optimal dietary approach for LADA is a unique combination of strategies from both, focused on preserving remaining insulin production.

Affecting an estimated 5-10% of people diagnosed with diabetes, LADA is a unique and often misdiagnosed autoimmune condition. This reality leads many to ask, "Can LADA be controlled with diet?" While a healthy diet cannot reverse the condition, specific dietary changes are crucial for effective long-term management.
