As per the Mayo Clinic, type 1 and type 1.5 diabetes fall in the same category which is latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA).  It begins in adulthood and slowly starts getting worse with time. 

It happens as the pancreas stops producing insulin, because of the autoimmune process damages cells in the pancreas. 

The website also states that people with LADA are sometimes diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mistakenly. As per the website of Mayo Clinic, people who suffer from this type of diabetes, eventually are prescribed insulin shots. 

While talking to PEOPLE back in March, Lance Bass mentioned that he had developed his diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

He recalled that at times he would become thirsty and also feel super lethargic almost the whole time. 

Opening up to Yahoo! Life, during an interview the This I Promise You singer stated that he felt frustrated because nothing was working on his health. The reason was clear when he knew that he had type 1.5 and not type 2 diabetes.
