A thin 38-year-old white female presents to the clinic for evaluation of her glycemic control.
She was diagnosed with diabetes 9 months ago with an A1C of 13% and started on
metformin and glipizide. Three months later her glycemic control was much improved (A1C
of 7.4%), but today she reports increased thirst and urination. Her A1C today is 11.2%
despite confirmed adherence with her medications and a negative pregnancy test. Which of
the following is the MOST likely diagnosis?
A) Type 1 diabetes (T1DM)
B) Type 2 diabetes (T2DM)
C) Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA)
D) Gestational diabetes (GDM) - answers-Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA)
C: Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is the correct answer (C). Patients with
LADA are typically less than 40 years old and often misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes at
presentation (B). Because these patients initially respond to oral agents and do not require
insulin, they are usually not diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (A). However, these patients
usually progress to insulin requirement over a period of several months, leading some
experts to consider LADA related to type 1 diabetes. This patient would not be diagnosed
with gestational diabetes because she is not pregnant (D).

At the conclusion of a general diabetes education group class, a 55-year-old man sitting in
the back proudly announces that he plans to start training for the upcoming marathon. He
reports being a runner in high school but has not done any exercise since his popliteal
bypass surgery 10 years ago. Which of the following is the most appropriate response to this
announcement?
A) Advise him to first obtain a graded exercise test with electrocardiogram.
B) Encourage the patient to walk for the first 20 minutes, then start running.
C) Encourage him to check his blood glucose after every mile of consistent walking.
D)Advise the patient that pain at night while at rest signifies improvement. - answers-Advise
him to first obtain a graded exercise test with electrocardiogram.
A: Given the patient's age and history of peripheral artery disease, a graded exercise test
would give key information on how his heart responds to exertion—information he must
know before beginning an exercise program in the absence of exercise over the last 10
years. Otherwise, he may put himself at undue risk for a cardiac event. The presence of
atherosclerosis in the leg arteries is a strong indicator that there may also be atherosclerosis
in the arteries of the heart.
