Free - Confidential - 2-Minute Screening

Know Your Diabetes Risk Before It Becomes a Diagnosis

Type 2 diabetes develops quietly for years before diagnosis. This validated risk test (FINDRISC) takes about 2 minutes and estimates your 10-year risk using factors like age, weight, waist size, and family history - no blood draw needed.

9 Quick Questions

100% Confidential

Before You Start

You will be asked about your age, weight, height, waist size, activity level, diet, and family history. Have a tape measure nearby if you know it, or estimate as closely as you can - this is a screening tool, not a lab test.

This is a screening aid, not a diagnosis. FINDRISC estimates your statistical risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the next 10 years. It cannot replace a blood glucose test. If your result is elevated, please speak with a doctor or pharmacist.

About this score. FINDRISC (Lindstrom & Tuomilehto, 2003) predicts 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes based on the original Finnish validation cohort. Studies applying FINDRISC in African populations (Botswana, Benin) found it useful but only modestly predictive in those cohorts - use this as a conversation starter with a health professional, not a lab-equivalent result.

Why This Screening Matters

Type 2 Diabetes Is Preventable When Caught Early

"Most people living with type 2 diabetes had years of rising risk before diagnosis - and most of that risk was visible on a simple questionnaire like this one."

What this screens for

Your estimated 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes, using 8 well-studied factors: age, BMI, waist size, activity, diet, blood pressure history, blood glucose history, and family history.

Who it is for

Adults 18 and older, especially those over 40, carrying extra weight, with a family history of diabetes, or with high blood pressure - even without any symptoms.

What happens next

If your score is elevated, chat with Afiya or book a consultation. HubPharm's coordinated care team can arrange a blood glucose test and, where needed, ongoing chronic-care support.

FINDRISC (the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) is a validated, published screening questionnaire developed by researchers Lindstrom and Tuomilehto and used worldwide in diabetes prevention programs. It estimates statistical risk - it does not replace a blood test.

No. A high score means your statistical risk is elevated and you should get a blood glucose test from a doctor or pharmacist. Only a blood test can diagnose diabetes or prediabetes.

Yes. Your answers are used only to calculate your score in your browser. Nothing is stored or shared unless you choose to contact us via WhatsApp or email afterward.
