Initial consultation

Follow-up
Following the first meeting, we create a tailored follow-up plan. Many patients prefer a health package, which consists of an initial consultation and 4 or 8 follow-up hours. Our team can still be reached by phone or email to address any questions. During follow-up sessions, we check your progress and adjust the plan if necessary. We guide and support you in dealing with any obstacles and check your long-term blood sugar (HbA1c). Follow-up sessions last 15 or 30 minutes, as needed.

Welcome to VektKlinikken, where our aim is to help you manage both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in a more satisfactory way, using our tailored and evidence-based approach, which suits your individual needs.

At VektKlinikken, we understand that managing diabetes can be difficult and often a daunting challenge. Therefore, we offer a holistic and individual method that not only focuses on the physiological aspects of diabetes, but also takes into account the psychological and emotional factors that can affect blood sugar levels.

Our dedicated team works together to create a plan tailored to your specific needs.

We begin our process by conducting a thorough assessment and examining your current health status, medical history and goals. Based on this evaluation, we create a customized treatment plan that includes an individual diet and exercise program and continuous support and guidance throughout the process.

1. What are the main differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and how do they affect my health?

The main differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes lie in their causes and onset: type 1 is an autoimmune condition in which the body mistakenly destroys insulin-producing cells, while type 2 is caused by the body's inability to effectively use insulin or produce enough of it. Both types can have a significant impact on health if not treated properly, leading to complications such as heart disease, kidney damage and vision problems.

2. What are the most common signs and symptoms associated with diabetes type 1 and 2?

Common signs and symptoms shared by both type 1 and type 2 diabetes include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, unexplained weight loss, fatigue and blurred vision. However, type 1 symptoms may appear suddenly and be more severe, while type 2 symptoms may develop gradually and be less noticeable initially.

3. How is diabetes type 1 and 2 diagnosed, and what tests can I expect during the examination?

Type 1 and 2 diabetes are usually diagnosed through blood tests that measure blood sugar levels, such as fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (glucose load), insulin level (c-peptide), HbA1c test and measuring antibodies in the blood to diagnose whether it is type 1 diabetes During the evaluation, you may undergo one or more of these tests, along with a medical history evaluation and a physical examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of diabetes.

4. Can diabetes be managed effectively and what are the primary treatment options available for each type?

Yes, diabetes can be managed effectively with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. For type 1 diabetes, insulin injections or insulin pump therapy are required, while type 2 diabetes treatment may involve oral medications or a combination of these, along with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. All medications must be prescribed by your doctor.

Such a plan allows you to make informed food choices, maintain stable blood sugar levels and avoid potential complications related to diabetes.

Physical activity plays a crucial role in managing diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, maintaining a healthy weight and good quality of life.
