Online Prediabetes Risk Test

Answer a few short questions about your age, body size, lifestyle and family history. You’ll get a 1–10 SugarRisk score with a breakdown of which factors pushed your risk up the most and what you can improve next.

Takes ~60 seconds

Step 1 of 10
Step 1

What is your sex assigned at birth?

Some risk tools use sex assigned at birth because it can interact with hormones, pregnancy and body fat distribution.

Step 2

How old are you?

Age is one of the strongest non-modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

Step 3

How would you describe your weight for your height?

Extra weight around the waist and mid-section can make it harder for insulin to work properly.

Step 4

How active are you in a typical week?

Regular movement helps muscles use glucose more efficiently and makes insulin work better.

Step 5

How would you describe your usual food and sugar intake?

Frequent sugary drinks, ultra-processed snacks and large refined-carb portions can accelerate insulin resistance.

Step 6

Does anyone in your close family have type 2 diabetes?

Genetics and shared lifestyle can both raise risk when parents or siblings live with diabetes.

Step 7

What about blood pressure and cholesterol?

High blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol often travel together with insulin resistance.

Step 8

Is your background linked with higher type 2 diabetes risk?

Some ethnic backgrounds have a higher population risk for type 2 diabetes, even at lower body weights.

Step 9

Have you ever had gestational diabetes or a very large baby?

Blood sugar problems during pregnancy can increase a woman’s future risk of type 2 diabetes.

Step 10

Have you ever been told you have “prediabetes” or high blood sugar?

Prior abnormal results (fasting glucose, A1C or OGTT) are powerful signals for future risk.

This quiz cannot diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. It is a tool that estimates risk using widely recognised factors from public health guidelines. Only blood tests interpreted by a healthcare professional can confirm a diagnosis.

Understanding your prediabetes risk test results

What does a 1–10 SugarRisk score mean?

The SugarRisk index is a simplified representation of your metabolic risk profile. Unlike a binary "yes/no" test, it shows where you stand on a spectrum:

  • 1–3 (Low): Your current lifestyle and clinical factors suggest a favourable risk profile.
  • 4–6 (Moderate): You have some risk factors that deserve attention, such as a sedentary lifestyle or family history.
  • 7–10 (High): Multiple significant risk factors are present. Clinical screening (A1C or Fasting Glucose) is highly recommended.

Why we ask about your ethnicity and family history

Research shows that genetics play a vital role. For example, certain ethnic groups may develop insulin resistance at a lower BMI (around 23) compared to others. Similarly, having a first-degree relative with type 2 diabetes significantly increases your lifetime risk due to shared genetics and environment.

Can a high risk score be reversed?

Yes. Prediabetes is often a reversible stage. Small, sustainable changes such as losing 5-7% of body weight, increasing daily steps, and improving sleep quality can drastically shift your score over 6–12 months.

When to see a doctor immediately

Regardless of your score, you should seek professional advice if you experience symptoms like extreme thirst, frequent urination at night, unexplained fatigue, or blurred vision. These can be signs of undiagnosed high blood sugar.
