Patients with LADA may lack some of the type 2 diabetes symptoms. These could include age, obesity, and the difficulty in achieving glycaemic control using standard oral hypoglycaemic agents. If these are lacking from diagnosis, it is quite possible that the patient has LADA. LADA is more typical of the immune markers common to type 2 diabetes, yet in its early stages does not require insulin. Patients in the early stages of LADA may also lack ketoacidosis symptoms. However, there may be a more rapid progression to requiring insulin amongst LADA patients when compared to normal type 2 diabetics. LADA patients share features common to both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Much more info in link.
