Diabetes Risk Assessment

1. What is your age?

2. What is your biological sex?

3. What is your waist circumference?

Measure horizontally around your body just above your hip bones. High waist circumference increases risk.

4. Do you have a family history of diabetes (parent, sibling, or child)?

Having a close relative with diabetes increases your own risk.

5. What is your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Higher BMI increases risk. Use an online calculator if unsure.

6. Have you ever been told you have high blood pressure or are you taking medication for it?

High blood pressure is often linked with increased diabetes risk.

7. Are you physically active for at least 30 minutes on most days?

Regular physical activity (like brisk walking, jogging, swimming) helps control blood sugar and weight.

8. For women: Have you ever been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy)?

A history of gestational diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.
