Estimate a simple diabetes risk category using a few common health factors.
This is a simplified educational score, not a diagnosis.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes less responsive to insulin over time. Many factors contribute to risk, including age, body weight, family history, physical activity, blood pressure, sleep, and diet. Risk tools can help identify people who may benefit from earlier screening or lifestyle support, but they do not diagnose diabetes.
This calculator uses a simplified point system based on age, BMI, family history, physical activity, and a history of high blood pressure. A higher score can suggest higher likelihood of abnormal blood sugar over time. Confirming risk requires medical testing such as fasting glucose, A1C, or an oral glucose tolerance test.
If you have frequent thirst, unexplained weight loss, blurry vision, or frequent urination, seek prompt evaluation. Lifestyle steps such as regular activity, balanced nutrition, and weight management can reduce risk in many people.
Does a high score mean I have diabetes? No. It means screening may be appropriate.
Can risk be reduced? Often yes, through lifestyle changes and clinical guidance.
Which test is best? A clinician can recommend A1C, fasting glucose, or other tests based on your situation.
