Type 2 Diabetes Risk Screening FINDRISC

Estimate an adult's 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes using the eight established FINDRISC factors. The tool supports metric and imperial measurements and stores no entered information.

Screening, not diagnosis FINDRISC estimates future type 2 diabetes risk in adults who do not already have diagnosed diabetes. A score cannot diagnose diabetes or prediabetes and should be followed by local clinical screening guidance where appropriate.
