I'm fit, no diabetes, parent + grand do, eat light carbs, but have hypoglycemia since childhood. it's recently dropping 3/4x a day. could i have lada?

Unlikely : Hello Prisilla. Hypoglycemia can happen in the early stages of diabetes . In your case you have been getting hypoglycemia since childhood without full manifestation of diabetes so LADA is unlikely . You need full work up and evaluation of hypoglycemia . It is important to do accuchecks during episodes to see how low the glucose leveles are.
