Type 2 diabetes checks
Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high. If not treated properly it can affect almost every part of your body and lead to serious health problems.
You can check your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by doing this simple online validated self-assessment test.
To complete the test you'll need to know your height, weight and waist size. You must be over 18 to complete the test and the results will not be accurate if you are pregnant.
If the results show you're at moderate or high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, you're advised to contact your practice nurse or GP as soon as possible. You may need a blood test to check for type 2 diabetes.
If the results show you're at increased or low risk of developing type 2 diabetes, making some small changes to your lifestyle now and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can have a big effect on your future health.
Depending on your risk score, you might be able to get help from the Healthier You NHS diabetes prevention programme.
