Prediabetes Risk

Patient risk assessment

If you scored 5 or higher:
You’re likely to have prediabetes and are at 
high risk for type 2 diabetes. However, only your 
doctor can tell for sure if you do have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (a condition that precedes 
type 2 diabetes in which blood glucose levels are 
higher than normal). Talk to your doctor to see if 
additional testing may be needed.

Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, American Indians, Asian Americans and Pacific islanders.
Body weights increase diabetes risk for everyone. Asian Americans are at increased diabetes risk at lower body weights than the rest 
of the general public (about 15 pounds lower).
