Type 2 Diabetes Risk Indicator Test

I ust came across his test on this site and was interested o find that i scored 26 which means that I would means a low risk of developing T2. Alas I have developed it !

I was interested to note that this is despite having a sibling and a parent with T2.

has anyone else done this and were they surprised by the result?

Does anyone know how this is assessed? Is it he number of risk facors an individual might have
or do some factors conribute more than others o the risk?

Interesting. Could be very misleading though.

I have already suffered from stereotyping by having my suggestion that I might be diabetic rubbished by doctors, ten years before i was finally and accidentally, diagnosed.

Had i come across that test at the ime I would have been totally reassured by my score of 26,
probably even less at the time, and might even have felt inclined to apologise for wasting the GP's time

Sterotypes are not only odious but often dangerous as well.Sometimes I feel almost obliged to apologise for not being overweight , exercising daily and never having smoked!

These people who ust won't fit into the pigeonholes provided!
When I started to put on weight with he medication there was almost oy and delight shown by the HCP's and even by friends and family. At last i was beginning to fit the stereotype!

I suppose he fact that diabetics can and do come in all shapes and sizes would not i into the anti-obesity campaign.
