Check major risk factors with this practical scoring tool today. Compare score drivers clearly now. Use the summary, chart, and exports for better planning.
This screening-style tool estimates type 2 diabetes or prediabetes risk using common questionnaire factors. It does not diagnose diabetes, and blood testing is still required for diagnosis.
Total score = age points + sex points + gestational-history points + family-history points + blood-pressure points + physical-inactivity points + weight-status points.
Age contributes 0 to 3 points. Male sex adds 1 point. A female history of gestational diabetes or delivering a baby weighing over 9 lb adds 1 point. Family history adds 1 point. Diagnosed high blood pressure adds 1 point. Physical inactivity adds 1 point.
Weight status is based on BMI. BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)2. BMI contributes 0, 1, 2, or 3 points. This calculator uses the lower BMI cutoff for Asian adults when selected.
A total score of 5 or more is flagged as increased screening risk.
| Age | Sex | Height / Weight | BMI | Key answers | Score | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | Female | 165 cm / 58 kg | 21.3 | No family history, active, normal BP | 0 | Below screening threshold |
| 47 | Male | 175 cm / 88 kg | 28.7 | Family history, inactive | 5 | At increased risk |
| 56 | Female | 160 cm / 82 kg | 32.0 | Gestational history, family history, high BP | 8 | At increased risk |
| 68 | Male | 178 cm / 112 kg | 35.3 | Family history, high BP, inactive | 9 | At increased risk |
No. It is a screening aid. Only blood tests and clinical assessment can diagnose diabetes or prediabetes.
A total of 5 or more suggests increased risk and supports discussing formal testing with a clinician.
Risk rises with age, so older age brackets receive more points in the screening score.
Higher BMI is linked with greater diabetes risk, so the score increases as weight status moves upward.
Some screening tools use lower BMI cutoffs for Asian adults because risk can rise at lower body weights.
That question applies only to female pregnancy history, so the calculator automatically removes it for males.
Yes. A lower score does not eliminate risk, especially if symptoms, lab abnormalities, or clinician concerns are present.
Share the result with a clinician and ask whether fasting glucose, A1C, or another screening test is appropriate.
