Diabetes Risk Calculator
Estimate 10-year type 2 diabetes risk using FINDRISC-style screening questions.
This FINDRISC-based estimate is an educational screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose diabetes. If your score is elevated, consider speaking with a healthcare professional.
How to use Diabetes Risk Calculator
Three quick steps — no sign-up needed
-
Step 1
Answer the screening questions
Complete age band, BMI band, waist group, activity, diet, blood-pressure medication history, past high glucose, and family history items as shown on the form.
-
Step 2
Submit for a risk score
The tool totals a FINDRISC-style score and maps it to an estimated 10-year type 2 diabetes risk category.
-
Step 3
Use the result wisely
A higher score means screening with a clinician is more important - it does not diagnose diabetes by itself.
About Diabetes Risk Calculator
Diabetes Risk Calculator offers a FINDRISC-style questionnaire to estimate 10-year type 2 diabetes risk from age, BMI category, waist size group, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, blood-pressure medication history, prior high blood glucose, and family history. People search "diabetes risk test", "FINDRISC calculator", and "type 2 diabetes risk score" for this kind of screening aid.
Answer each item using the bands on the form (for example age under 45 through over 64, BMI below 25 / 25-30 / over 30, waist smaller-medium-larger with sex-specific centimetre guides). The output is a risk estimate used in public-health screening contexts - not a blood test and not a diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.
Only lab tests (such as fasting glucose, HbA1c, or ordered panels) and clinical evaluation can diagnose. If your score is elevated, you have symptoms (thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight change), or you already know of high glucose, contact a healthcare professional promptly.
These results are educational estimates only and are not a medical diagnosis. Talk to a qualified clinician for personal health decisions. Do not start, stop, or change medication based on this questionnaire alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is FINDRISC?
A validated-style questionnaire approach for estimating type 2 diabetes risk from everyday risk factors without immediate lab work.

No. It means estimated risk is higher and professional screening is wise. Diagnosis needs clinical testing.
What inputs do I need?
Age group, BMI group, waist group, activity, vegetable/fruit habits, BP medication history, prior high glucose, and family history as listed.
Can this replace an HbA1c test?
No. Blood tests and clinician review remain the standard for diagnosis and monitoring.
