The Hidden Consequences of Being Misdiagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes

When type 1 diabetes (T1D) or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is mistaken for type 2 diabetes (T2D), the consequences go far beyond the wrong medication. A misdiagnosis can trigger a cascade of physical complications, deep emotional wounds, and harmful behaviors, all while delaying the care a person urgently needs. For many, it’s not just a medical error. It’s a life-altering experience.

And I want to talk about that in an approachable, realistically positive, and supportive way. For me and you! It’s okay to want to lose a healthy amount of weight.
