Preventing Complications
Eye, kidney, nerve, foot, and cardiovascular health.
Your Screening Calendar
A full calendar of eye, kidney, foot, heart and thyroid checks for LADA, starting promptly because diagnosis is so often delayed by years.
Eye Screening in LADA
Diabetic retinopathy develops silently, and the years of undiagnosed high blood sugar before a LADA label mean screening should not be postponed.
Kidney Health
Kidney damage in diabetes stays silent for years, and a yearly urine albumin test with good blood pressure control is what catches and slows it.
Nerves and Feet
Nerve damage in LADA can begin early and affect the small nerves first, which makes daily foot checks and never walking barefoot essential.
Thyroid and Autoimmune Screening
Because autoimmune conditions cluster, LADA adds thyroid testing and awareness of coeliac disease to the usual diabetes screening schedule.
