Prediabetes Screening Tool
COULD YOU HAVE PREDIABETES? Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) is higher than normal, but not yet diabetes.  Diabetes is a serious disease that can cause heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, or loss of feet or legs.  Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented in people with prediabetes through effective lifestyle programs. Take the first step.  Find out your risk for prediabetes.

Did you score 5 or higher? *
If you scored 5 or higher, you are at increased risk of having prediabetes and are at high risk for type 2 diabetes.  However, only your doctor can tell for sure if you have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.  Talk to your doctor to see if additional testing is needed.      
If you are African American, Hispanic/Latino American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian American, or Pacific Islander, you are at higher risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.  Also, if you are Asian American, you are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes at a lower weight (about 15 pounds lower than weights in the 1 Point column).  Talk to your doctor to see if you should have your blood sugar tested.
You can reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes
