Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Basic information about diabetes risk assessment
Can this assessment be used instead of a diabetes diagnosis?
No. This assessment is for preliminary risk screening only. If your result is moderate or high risk, or if you have unusual symptoms, you should see a doctor for further testing.
What symptoms mean I should see a doctor as soon as possible?
If you have symptoms such as frequent thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, or unexplained weight loss, you should consult a doctor for further evaluation.
If my result shows risk, what tests should I get next?
In general, a doctor may consider checking your blood sugar level or related tests such as HbA1c, FPG, or OGTT, depending on your individual situation.
What factors increase the risk of diabetes?
- Increasing age
- Being overweight or obese
- Having a family history of diabetes
- Low physical activity
- Having high blood pressure or a history of high blood sugar
If my score is not high, do I still need to take care of myself?
Yes. Maintaining healthy eating habits, controlling your weight, exercising regularly, and having health checkups when appropriate can help reduce or delay the risk.
How is BMI related to diabetes risk?
Body Mass Index is one of the tools used to assess risk. In general, being overweight or obese is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, which is why it is included in this assessment.
