I have had Type 1 diabetes since the age of 23 and take NovoRapid insulin twice a day. What routine precautionary health checks should I undergo?

Asked by Male, 35 · 11 days ago

To manage Type 1 diabetes effectively and prevent complications, you should undergo these routine health checks: HbA1c Test: Every 3 to 6 months to monitor average blood sugar levels. Annual Eye Exam: Dilated retinal screening to check for diabetic retinopathy. Kidney Function: Annual urine microalbumin and blood creatinine tests. Foot Exam: Annual professional check for nerve damage (neuropathy) and blood flow. Cardiovascular Health: Yearly blood pressure check and lipid (cholesterol) panel. Thyroid Screening: Periodic blood tests, as other autoimmune conditions can co-occur. Regular consultations with your endocrinologist are essential to safely manage your NovoRapid insulin regimen.
