Your score:

For those scoring 10 points or more ... You are at high risk for having diabetes. However, only your physician can tell for sure. You should make an appointment with your physician soon to discuss your risk for diabetes.

For those scoring 9 or fewer points ... You are probably at low risk for having diabetes now. But that can change as you age. Keep your risk low by losing weight if you are overweight, being active most days and eating low fat meals with fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods.
