Find out if you are at risk for type 2 diabetes,
by taking this simple test. Answer the following questions as they apply to you,
then click the "CALCULATE" button to run the test and view your score.
A score of equal to or above 10 means you may be at greater risk to develop or
already be a type II diabetic. A score of 9 or less means you may be at less
risk of becoming a type II diabetic. No matter what your
"At Risk" Assessment score only a physical exam and testing by a licensed
physician can truly diagnose diabetes.

Disclaimer
This "At Risk" for
Diabetes assessment is in no way a substitute for a
physicians diagnosis and treatment and results should not be interpreted as a
substitute for visiting your own physician. This is merely a tool for measuring
the possibility you are at risk for diabetes. Tri-County Diabetes Alliance urges
all visitors to check with their own physician regarding whether they are at
risk. As always a physical exam with your physician is recommended!
The
American Diabetes Association offers an extensive test on their
web site which you may want to take if this assessment showed that
you may be at higher risk for diabetes or pre-diabetes. Again taking
either of these test in no way should be used as a medical
diagnosis. If you think you may be at risk check with your own
physician and get a medical examination and tests.
If you'd like to learn more about your risk for diabetes or its complications, get your Diabetes PHD (Personal Health Decisions) today!
by visiting the American Diabetes Association web site at
