About this listen

The first book for the general public on LADA (Latent Auto-immune Diabetes in Adults) aka Diabetes 1.5, Kickass Healthy Lada offers the most up to date (and little known) information, with practical strategies and tips for healthy living.

If you are one of the millions of Americans with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), you may not even know it. You may be one of the ten percent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who actually have LADA. Even if you do know that you have LADA, sometimes called “diabetes 1.5,” you’re likely to be inundated with unhelpful advice and potentially harmful treatments, leaving you feeling confused and overwhelmed. That was Jacqueline Haskins’ experience. After visiting five doctors before getting helpful guidance, and realizing there wasn’t a friendly “how-to” book meant for the general public about LADA—she decided to write one.

Thoroughly researched, empathetic, and practical, Kickass Healthy LADA shares Haskins’s hard-earned expertise. Medically reviewed and vetted, this go-to guide provides critical information and insights, including:

  • A detailed breakdown of the different diabetes diagnoses
  • What makes LADA different and how to find the best treatment team
  • Insulin: what it is, what it does, and how to know if we need more of this natural hormone
  • Tools for good health with LADA, including food and nutrition advice
  • Introducing Carb-Craft: how to safely enjoy the foods you love

With a biologist’s keen eye, a patient-advocate’s tenacity, and the humor of a trusted friend, Haskins offers an essential toolkit for anyone diagnosed with LADA.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I had already done quite a bit of my own research before I discovered this book so I was worried at first that it would be too basic. It starts out that way, although I very much identified with the stunning brick wall truths and the parade of unhelpful advice from medical practitioners. The further I got into the book, the more I realized how comprehensive it was. I learned so much, and all the facets of this new life are covered — how to navigate food choices without feeling deprived, how to self-advocate with your doctor, how unique AND similar LADA is to the other forms of diabetes, and that we have to push for greater health access for all. Covered it all, and with an entertaining narrator. Highly recommend for PWD and those that love them. Lots of great insights into the day-to-day.

For ANY newly diagnosed person, but especially helpful for us LADAs
