Abstract

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) refers to an autoimmune disorder characterized with detectable islets antibodies in the early diagnosis and increased autoimmune beta-cell failure progression. Notably, this kind of diabetes seems to be confused with other phenotypic diabetes. A young woman suffered an emotional exhaustion-induced LADA, showing asthenia, polydipsia, polyuria, and visible weight loss. The patient emotionally ended a 14-year romantic relationship, leading to the emotional flooding. The data from physical examination and laboratory tests exhibited as follows: glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) = 63.83 U/mL, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) = 13.3 mmol/L, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) = 10.9%. According to levels of GADA, the patient was diagnosed as LADA. The patient was clinically treated with insulin for 3-month. Then, running, diet-control, and emotional treatment were combined, such as the patient started a new relationship. An emotional recovery initiated from a new romantic relationship and a baby, showing normal levels of GAD65 (27.007 IU/mL) and FBG (5.46) mmol/L. The emotional exhaustion might play a significant role in induction of LADA. It is important that individuals should mainta...Continue Reading

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
