Based on a modified FINDRISC model, assesses 8 risk factors to estimate your 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For reference only — does not replace blood glucose testing.
Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90%+ of all diabetes cases. It develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough. Globally, ~537 million adults have diabetes, and nearly half are undiagnosed.
Non-modifiable: Age (>40), family history (3-5x risk with first-degree relative), ethnicity.
Modifiable: Overweight/obesity (biggest factor), inactivity, poor diet, hypertension, high cholesterol.
Fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7-6.4% indicates prediabetes. With lifestyle intervention (5-7% weight loss + 150 min/week exercise), you can reduce progression to diabetes by 58%!
