Slowly Progressive Type 1 Diabetes in the Elderly: About 3 Cases

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is an autoimmune form of diabetes situated between classical type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). It typically affects older adults and progresses more slowly toward insulin dependence. We report three cases of elderly female patients presenting with inaugural diabetic ketosis revealing slowly progressive type 1 diabetes. These observations highlight the diagnostic challenges and clinical features of this still poorly understood entity in elderly patients.
