Summary

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a form of autoimmune diabetes that typically occurs in adulthood and has intermediate characteristics between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. To optimize the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, recently, a subclassification of LADA has been proposed based on some clinical features, antibodies, and beta cellular function at onset. In this paper, we expose an interesting case showing the effectiveness of early treatment with a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (semaglutide) in maintaining long-term good glycemic control and associated with the preservation of beta-cell function over a five-year observation period in a young woman with LADA.
