This is not an accurate test, and is not a substitute for seeing a doctor. It gives a general indication about pre-diabetes risk, which may lead up to type 2 diabetes. To take the test, answer the following questions:
- How old are you?
- Under 40 (0)
- 40 - 49 years old (1 point)
- 50 - 59 years old (2 points)
- 60 years or older (3 points)
- What is your gender?
- If you’re a female, have you been diagnosed with gestational diabetes before?
- Is your father, mother, brother or sister a diabetic?
- Have you been diagnosed with high blood sugar before?
- Do you exercise?
- What is your bodyweight category?
- To identify your bodyweight category, check the table below, which classifies bodyweight into three categories for each height. And under each category are listed the its respective points.
