Statistics Site #1Site #2 Total # of patients 4027 4623 Total # of patients with diabetes 344 387 Total # of patients with Type 1 DM 18 20 % with Type 1 5.23% 5.17% Thanks to K Love who assisted with data collection
3
Patient Demographics Site 1 n=18 Site 2 n=20 Combined Sites # of females 7 942.11% # of males 11 57.89 % Average age (years) 41.6 44.5 43.1 Range of Ages (years) 4 - 8414 - 66 4 - 84
4
Insulin Therapy Delivery System 18 using insulin pump (47.4%) Avg A1C 7.86% 20 using multiple insulin injections (52.6%) Avg A1C 9.73%
5
So how does this relate to my experiences working with patients who have type 1 diabetes?
6
LADA Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults
7
“LADA Phenomenon” Identified in the 1970’s Researchers were trying to prove that type 1 DM was an autoimmune disease by looking for auto antibodies Found auto antibodies in patients with type1 and 10% of pts with type 2 2008 study in Diabetes found genetically LADA has features of both type 1 and type 2
8
Autoantibodies Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibodies (GADA or Anti-GAD) Insulin Autoantibodies (IAA) Insulinoma-Associated-2 Autoantibodies (IA-2A) Islet Cell Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies (ICA) Zinc Transporter 8 (ZnT8Ab)
9
Why is it Important to Identify LADA? Early insulin treatment may keep functioning beta cells May provide insulin pump therapy as treatment option Would allow SGLT2 for those that are not LADA

Case Study # 1 Ms. E.W. Generally healthy 35yr old female G4T4 BMI 24 GDM requiring insulin (for last 10 weeks of her pregnancy which was 2 yrs ago) father, brother, sister, paternal aunts x2, paternal uncle with type 2 DM 2 months of ongoing vaginal yeast infections, blurry vision and 30 lb wt loss and feeling fatigue- still working FT A1C 12.4%; no ketones in urine No medications at present.

14
Case study # 4 Mr. T. S. 51 yr old- diagnosed 12 yrs prior Has been coming q3-4 mos for office visits Started on basal insulin 5 yrs ago and rapid 3 yrs ago A1c’s never below 7.6 Wt; 84 kg; BMI 24; ht: 183
