A young man, 32 years of age, with a history of ADHD and being treated with Adderall, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He had symptoms upon diagnosis — frequent urination, weight loss, and his BMI was 20. He followed a low carb diet, was taking metformin, and exercised; however, his blood glucose and A1C continued to rise to 7.7%....

Carotid ultrasound shows atherosclerotic disease is not just a concern for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but LADA as well.
