Lance Bass reveals LADA diagnosis and lessons for his twins
Former NSYNC singer Lance Bass wrote an open letter about his Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults diagnosis and what he wants his children to learn.
Initial misdiagnosis during pandemic
The musician was first informed of Type 2 diabetes while the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. He adjusted his diet and medications but realized something did not add up after further questioning.
Discovery of LADA condition
Advocating for himself led to the truth that he has Type 1.5 diabetes, also known as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults. This form often develops in adulthood and can be mistaken for Type 2 by medical professionals.
Impact on family life
Bass describes how managing his condition has changed him as a husband and father to five-year-old twins Violet and Alexander. He hopes his children will learn to ask for help and talk openly about health issues by watching his example.
