Abstract

The study of the sociomedical problems of diabetes mellitus led to the discovery of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), a special form of the disease. The slow onset of the disease, the clinical signs of type 2 diabetes mellitus concurrent with the autoantibody pancreatic β-cell destruction mechanism that is characteristic of type 1 diabetes. Genetic factors play an important role in the genesis of the disease. Insulitis concurrent with intact or hypertrophic islets of the gland originally develops morphologically. Subsequently, the phenomena of islet atrophy and sclerosis are progressive. The disease is typical for young people (generally those aged 25-35 years) with normal body mass index, low blood C-peptide levels, with antibodies against β-cells, primarily to glutamate decarboxylase, being detected. Insulin preparations should be used to treat these patients.
