A 55-year-old male with LADA experienced substantial reductions in insulin dosage when treated with montelukast for respiratory symptoms. Initially diagnosed with LADA in 2018, the patient had been on insulin therapy. Montelukast therapy, initiated due to respiratory symptoms, led to a 60.5% reduction in insulin requirements which increased upon discontinuation.
