<unk>  in adults (LADA) is a genetically-linked, hereditary autoimmune disorder that results in the body mistaking the pancreas as foreign and responding by attacking and destroying the insulin-producing beta islet cells of the pancreas.  Simply stated, autoimmune disorders, including LADA, are an "allergy to self."
In its early stages LADA typically presents as type 2<unk>  and is often misdiagnosed as such. However, LADA more closely resembles type 1<unk>  and shares common physiological characteristics of type 1 for metabolic dysfunction, genetics, and autoimmune features, but LADA does not affect children and is classified distinctly as being separate from juvenile<unk> .
