Yes: In an article from Archives of Dermatology in 2009 there was good correlation between psoriasis and increased risk for diabetes. Although the article did not specify T1/LADA diabetes. However, given LADA stands for Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and psoriasis is an autoimmune process there is likely and association.
