It was not ordered so it can't be done.
Lada:
* Adult age at diagnosis (usually over 25 years of age)
* Initial presentation masquerades as non-obese type 2 diabetes (does not present as diabetic ketoacidosis)
* Initially can be controlled with meal planning with or without diabetes pills
* Insulin dependency gradually occurs, frequently within months
* Positive antibodies
* Low C-peptide levels
* Unlikely to have a family history of type 2 diabetes
I did present as DKA, I am overweight, and I have a large family history of type 2.
