I need to distinguish these two if possible, so a single translation is not what I need here. Context is diabetes, and my source has for instance:
"Sukker i større mengder skader åreveggene, og fordi personer med diabetes type 1 og 2 har forhøyet blodsukker, har de økt risiko for en rekke følgesykdommer eller senkomplikasjoner."
Other examples where both appear are at http://www.diabetes.no/Senkomplikasjoner.b7C_wljSZR.ips and http://tinyurl.com/4cmy7qs.

Selected
long-term complications/sequelae
According to the Kunnskapsforlaget medical dictionary senkomplikasjon/følgesykdom both mean sequelae, so I think you could use that on its own as the two words mean the same thing, but I have provided two different terms as you requested.

| Thanks! I hit the same dead end initially but you have provided what is probably going to be the solution. |

: But I don't think they mean exactly the same thing. "Følgesykdom" sykelig tilstand som resultat av forutgående sykdom. Norsk ill.ordbok. I would say that a "følgesykdom" may be a late complication, while a "senkomplikasjon" may not be a "følgesykdom".

I beg to differ in this case as diabetes has side effects associated with lack of/excess of sugar/insulin
