These patients gradually lose their insulin-producing capability, requiring insulin within five to ten years of diagnosis. LADA is a form of type 1 DM that occurs in adults with a slower course of onset. In 2003, an editorial in Diabetes Care discussed the topic an essay entitled: “What’s in a Name: Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults, type 1.5, adult-onset, and type 1 diabetes.” The authors emphasized that patients with LADA have also been named as type 1.5 diabetes. The first concept of LADA was introduced in 1993. How Well Do You Know Lada: Diabetes Type 1.5?Įvan Lendle Ramos, RN, CCS Senior Manager, Training Department MiraMed Philippines Group, LLC-Philippines Branch Most of us know little about the existence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 1.5, also known as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adult (LADA). Once it makes fiscal sense, they will have a person go through your records and look for a reason to give you grief. Sadly, I think my insurance will immediately find any available reason to deny me a pump or pump supplies despite whatever coding has been marked there by my doctor. In my case, all these tests are automagically approved whether 250.00 (T2) or 250.01 (T1). As a first pass, insurance companies filter things like lab requests throught automated checks. Family Glucose Disregulation since 2005 Yes, but coding an ordering sheet for lab tests is far different than getting a pump approved. 2010, Pump/CGM Since Dec 2012 But when dealing with insurance it's better to be type 1 for supplies. Synjardy, Tresiba/Humalog, Exercise, low carb diet D.D. My endo has taken to coding me as 250.01. Family Glucose Disregulation since 2005 I would not read too much into it. I'm curious - what do others with Type 1.5's see on their paperwork? Confirmed Transcription of HNF4- (MODY1) Current Dx: IGT / Pre-Diabetic - Controlled with just Diet and Exercise 3/2012: 5.3% 10/2012:4.7% 4/2013:4.9% 6/2014:5.3% Daily Supplements: Multi-Vitamin, Magnesium, Vitamin D, & CoQ10, (Occasionally: ALA & EPO) D.D. I was looking up in the diagnosis area at the ICD9 codes, and noticed that mine states: Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type I, not stated as uncontrolled Considering that the lab form was filled out before I had confirmation of MODY, and his talk track seemed to be that of dealing with Type 2 - I hadn't expected to have a Type 1 in the diagnosis box. I've got my next followup in a little less than a month, so I just unburied my lab form.
