Breakthrough T1D Education Series: Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA)
Please join us for a free informative and engaging discussion about latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, also known as LADA, a frequently misdiagnosed condition in adults with diabetes.
When: Thursday, February 26, 2026, 8:00 p.m. EST (French at 7:00 p.m.)
Where: Microsoft Teams (a link will be sent after registration)
Who: Presented by Dr. Cathy J. Sun, Endocrinologist at The Ottawa Hospital and moderated by Breakthrough T1D
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), also known as type 1.5 diabetes, is a form of type 1 diabetes (T1D) that has features of both T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D). LADA is estimated to account for approximately 10% of adult diagnoses of all diabetes.
LADA has been the subject of debate in the field: some consider that it is a distinct subtype of diabetes; others consider that it is simply a slower-progressing form of T1D. Regardless, developing a personalized care plan with your health care team is important to live well with LADA.
Join us for a discussion about the latest treatment options and how to best manage the condition.
This event is open to anyone, including healthcare professionals looking to learn more about LADA.
There will also be the opportunity for a question-and-answer period, but please note that we cannot provide personal health advice.
We hope to see you there.
