""Linnea's lived experience with LADA fills this book with education and support. People living with LADA are often left in limbo, trying to figure out what's going on. Linnea's words will give readers validation after a frustrating experience trying to get diagnosed, combined with the critical nuggets of knowledge to manage daily life with a very demanding type of diabetes. This book will confirm that you're definitely not alone living with LADA."" -Ginger Vieira, CoFounder, Diabetes Nerd Network ""In this admirable book, the author seeks to guide those perplexed by the condition. It should prove valuable as an aid both for patients and medical practitioners. Both will benefit from the advise but also need to be mindful of the dynamic of the disease and with that the need to modify treatment as it progresses over a variable time course to insulin dependence. Novel therapies and approaches should be a constant reminder of the importance of precision medicine when dealing with cases with LADA."" -Professor RDG Leslie MD FRCP FAoP, Blizard Institute, Centre for Immunobiology, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry ""Living with LADA is about so much more than numbers, and this book does a great job of making both the practical and emotional realities feel clear and approachable. This book brings together lived experience and actionable guidance in a way that will help readers feel less alone and more equipped to navigate their journey."" -Dr. Mark Heyman, Diabetes Sucks and You Can Handle It ""Success with LADA Diabetes is a thoughtful, practical resource that brings clarity, encouragement, and real-life wisdom to women navigating LADA and life with diabetes. You can feel Linnea's lived experience on every page, she doesn't just teach, she understands. It's the kind of support so many people have been missing, offering both guidance and reassurance that they are not alone in this journey."" -Melissa Slemp, Highs, Lows, & Hormones: A Survival Guide For Women Managing Diabetes from Monthly Cycles to Menopause ""Having had T1D for over 60 years, since 1965, I have lived through and experienced many, if not all, of the anxieties, frustrations, ups and downs, surprises and excitement mentioned in your book. I found the book to be basic, very understandable, easy to read and packed with valuable suggestions. Well done."" -Greg Hammill, living with Type 1 Diabetes for over 60 years
