Screening for MODY diabetes. Diabetic treatment will be adjusted based on the participant's diabetic genotype.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

VAGUS

To examine for Cardiovasculare Autonomic Neuropathy participants will be tested with the handheld Vagus device (Medicus Engineering, Aarhus, Denmark). Participants are instructed to perform three cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs) after lying still in supine position for 5 minutes to record heart rate at rest. CARTs include supine-to-upright position, deep-breathing, and valsalva maneuver. From each CART the ratio based on the shortest and longest R-R-interval at predefined timepoints in the recording is used to assess the possibility of CAN

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

NightOwl

Participants will be examined for sleep apnea for 3 nights using the NightOwl (Ectosense, Belgium) device, which measuring Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) in the index finger. The results of the examination will is uploaded via the patient's smartphone to an online platform accessible to healthcare providers. Participants with signs of sleep apnea will receive a confirmatory cardiorespiratory monitoring using the Nox T3s (Noxturnal, ResMed), and the results will be compared.

DEVICE

CPAP

Participants with an Apnea-Hypoapnea-Index above 30, or above 15 with symptoms of sleep apnea, will be offered treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
