Finding out if you have type 1 diabetes
Finding out if you have type 1 diabetes
If your doctor thinks you might have type 1 diabetes, you should be offered a finger‑prick blood test. On the same day, you should also see a diabetes team who look after children and young people.
You may need more tests to find out if you have diabetes. Your diabetes team will tell you about any other tests you need.
Younger children can learn how to tell if you or someone else has diabetes on the Diabetes UK website.
