Abstract
Between 5 and 10% of adults initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.(DM) actually have adult-onset autoimmune diabetes. Given the large number of patients diagnosed with DM type 2, the entity called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) by some authors could represent half of all diabetics with type 1A diabetes. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman, with a history of brittle diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome, who was finally diagnosed with autoimmune diabetes and celiac disease.
