Wisconsin Diabetes Risk Test

One out of every three American adults has prediabetes. The scary part is that most of them don’t even know it and it can go undetected for years. If they knew, they'd want to change it. So don't wait to find out if you're at risk. Take the 1-minute risk test today. 

Prediabetes happens when your blood sugar levels are consistently higher than normal. It's a serious condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes and damage your health, especially your heart. It's also your last opportunity to prevent type 2 diabetes. That's because prediabetes is much easier to reverse than type 2 diabetes. It only takes a few lifestyle changes to reduce your risk and lower your blood sugar levels.

This risk test is scored to help indicate your level or risk. Scoring a five or higher puts you at high risk for prediabetes and developing type 2 diabetes. However, only a blood test can determine an official diagnosis. You must complete all required questions to submit your responses and for it to be scored. Required questions are indicated by a red asterisk (*). 

Additionally, per Wisconsin Department of Health Services' guidelines, do not include any unnecessary personally-identifiable information (PII) or protected health information (PHI) in your responses.

Acknowledgement: This diabetes risk test was adopted from American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC). ADA launched its first risk test in 1993. The risk test was adapted by a published study and validated using data from the CDC. They simplified the test to only include health traits that people would know about themselves, such as age, height, and weight, but not blood sugar or cholesterol levels.
