Quick version

When insulin production is reduced or absent, it results in elevated blood sugar levels, which can cause serious damage to the body both in the short and long term. Daily insulin therapy is required to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It is also important to be physically active and adapt the diet to the disease in order to feel as well as possible.

Diabetes type 1 is characterized by a constant high blood sugar level. At the onset of the disease, symptoms such as fatigue, increased thirst and frequent urination appear. Weight loss and blurred vision are also common early signs of illness

Common symptoms of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes include:

  • General tiredness and lack of energy, both physically and mentally
  • Increased urine production and the need to urinate more often than usual
  • Increased thirst
  • Fog vision
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Cramps in the calves
  • Fungal infections in the vagina

If type 1 diabetes is not detected and treated in time, it can lead to acute symptoms. High blood sugar levels can result in ketoacidosis, which means the body becomes dehydrated. If you are already being treated for type 1 diabetes, you may also experience hypoglycemia, which is a low blood sugar level. This can be a consequence of an imbalance in sugar regulation, for example due to excessive insulin doses. The symptoms of these conditions are not always clear, and confusion and impaired consciousness can occur with both low and high blood sugar levels.

Questions and answers

Key signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, general fatigue, blurred vision, and rapid weight loss.

In type 1 diabetes, the body's insulin production is non-existent. Insulin is essential for regulating blood sugar levels and ensuring cells receive the energy they need.

Ketoacidosis is caused by severely high blood sugar and lack of insulin, whereas hypoglycemia refers to dangerously low blood sugar levels, often due to an imbalance in insulin dosage or food intake.

Information

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.
