How likely am I to get type 2 diabetes?

FINDRISC: the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score estimates your chance of developing type 2 diabetes in the next 10 years. Note: people of South Asian, Black or East Asian heritage can be at higher risk at a lower weight than this score assumes. This is a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong answers.

About this test

This page uses a validated screening questionnaire with its original wording and published scoring cutoffs. Your answers are scored automatically as soon as you finish. A screening result can tell you whether it's worth talking to a doctor or mental-health professional, but only they can make a diagnosis.

Possible results

  • Low risk (score 0+)
  • Slightly elevated risk (score 7+)
  • Moderate risk (score 12+)
  • High risk (score 15+)
  • Very high risk (score 21+)
