Prediabetes Risk Test

Prediabetes Risk Test

How old are you?

You are at a higher risk for type 2 diabetes the older you are.

Are you a man or a woman?

Risk for diabetes is related to sex at birth. For the purpose of this survey, were you born male or female?

If you are a woman, have you ever been diagnosed with gestational diabetes?

Do you have a mother, father, sister, or brother with diabetes?

A family history of diabetes could contribute to your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Have you ever been diagnosed with high blood pressure?

Having high blood pressure contributes to your overall risk for type 2 diabetes.

Are you physically active?

Being inactive can increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.

What is your weight category?

The combination of your weight and height lets us know your Body Mass Index or BMI. People with higher BMIs are at a higher risk.
