Up to 94% of LADA cases are first misdiagnosed as Type 2 diabetes. If that happened to you, the standard advice you were given was written for a condition you do not have. LADA — Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults, sometimes called Type 1.5 — is an autoimmune condition, not a lifestyle one. It is usually diagnosed after 30, in adults who are often lean, active, and metabolically healthy by every other measure. And it comes with a window: the honeymoon phase, the months after diagnosis when residual beta-cell function can still be protected. What you do in the first 90 days determines how much of that function you keep. Newly Diagnosed LADA: The First 90 Days is a working root-cause workbook, not a comfort read. Written by Reham Alsharif — IPHM-certified holistic nutrition coach, founder of LIV Functional, and diagnosed with LADA herself at 44 after being told she had Type 2 — it turns five years of self-tested protocols into a sequenced 90-day plan you can start the week you are diagnosed. Inside you will find: The LADA Differentiation Matrix — how LADA actually differs from Type 1 and Type 2, and why that changes your treatment The exact diagnostic tests to request: GAD65 antibodies, C-peptide, fasting insulin, and the inflammatory markers standard panels skip A nervous system protocol targeting the cortisol-glucose loop and the Cortisol Awakening Response behind unexplained high morning readings A 3-phase gut repair protocol — Remove, Repair, Rebuild — addressing the gut-insulin axis and its role in autoimmunity Functional lab reference ranges, with optimal values, not just "normal" ones A 3-phase transitional nutrition plan (anti-inflammatory, then low-carb, then optional keto adaptation) with a 7-day sample meal plan, categorized grocery list, and supplementation protocol A 30-day week-by-week action roadmap, plus 30/60/90-day goal setting Daily tracking logs, weekly check-in prompts, and input spaces throughout Coach Tips in every chapter drawn from the author's own LADA management Written for people who want the mechanism, not the motivational poster: smart, health-conscious adults who would rather understand their biology than be managed by it.
