The designation of LADA
--was originally made so that clinicians and others would not assume that all diabetes that struck at older ages was assumed to be Type 2; you might remember that at one time autoimmune diabetes was often referred to as "juvenile diabetes", which can, of course, be misleading.
But yes, a small but important subset of diabetes that strikes at older ages is autoimmune in nature, as is young onset Type I.
