Not sure there's actually a LADA thread in this community. Here's an article to talks about how many people with LADA are initially misdiagnosed as type 2.

In my case, I was diagnosed with type 2 even though I was exercising 5-6 times a week, had ~8% body fat, and was eating pretty well (did have a sweet tooth though). So, I was told to exercise more, lose weight, and improve my diet. And I was put on Metformin, Jardiance, and Ozempic. After loosing another 20lbs that I really couldn't afford to lose, a new doctor said "just looking at you, I can tell you're LADA. Here's your reference to an endocrinologist." Now that I'm off the drugs and put on insulin, I feel (and look!) much better.
So, given what the original poster was saying about their activity level and physical state, I felt it might be wise to look into diabetes beyond type 2 (I'm not a doctor, of course)
