Diabetes Risk Calculator

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that up to 212 million people, or half the adults who currently live with diabetes, are undiagnosed.

Most of them have Type 2 Diabetes. The IDF has created an online diabetes risk assessment resource whose purpose is to predict the individual risk of developing diabetes type 2 during the next 10 years. The assessment is based on the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINRISC) questionnaire developed and designed by Assoc. Prof. Jaana Lindstrom and Prof. Jaakko Tuomilehto from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki, Finland. 1

1 OUT OF 100 PEOPLE IS ESTIMATED TO DEVELOP THIS DISEASE IN THE FUTURE

You cannot do anything regarding your age and genetic predisposition.
However, doing something regarding the remaining factors influencing diabetes type 2, such as overweight, abdominal obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, eating habits, and smoking, is up to you. Changes in your lifestyle can prevent diabetes or at least delay its onset until a very advanced age.

Prevention saves LIVES. Consult with your doctor.

This content is not medical advice or a clinical diagnosis. This is preventive information designed for you to share with your doctor so he or she can learn more about your risk. DO NOT STOP OR CHANGE your medication for cardio metabolic diseases without consulting a healthcare professional. Always consult your physician before making any decisions regarding your condition.
