“As all of you know, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few years back,” the NSYNC singer shared. “But when I was first diagnosed, I had a difficult time getting my glucose levels under control even though I made adjustments to my diet, medication, and my workout routine.”
He shared that his medical team misdiagnosed him.
“I actually have Type 1.5, or latent autoimmune diabetes of adults [LADA],” Lance added.

- “Thank you for bringing awareness. I’ve had Type 1 since I was 10, I’m 40 now. It was such a lonely and scary thing to go through as a kid. 😢 It was almost shameful to have, even tho I did nothing to cause it.”
- “Thank you for sharing this! I’m also a type 1.5 and no one understands it when I tell them.”
- “Thank you for giving me a new topic to learn about for my nerdy self”
