This tool provides an estimate of your risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the next 7.5 years. Based on established clinical research, it evaluates key factors such as age, BMI, blood glucose, blood pressure, and family history to provide a personalized risk estimate.
Note: This tool is provided for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Results should not be interpreted as medical advice. Users are encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare professional for evaluation and guidance specific to their individual circumstances.
The underlying model of this diabetes risk estimator is derived from published research in 2002 by Dr. Michael Stern and colleagues at the University of Texas, based on an observational study of approximately 3,000 adults.
The model incorporates multiple factors associated with diabetes risk, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), ethnicity, family history of diabetes, fasting glucose level, systolic blood pressure, and HDL cholesterol.

A new study shows that many anti-aging treatments—such as fasting, healthy eating, and certain medications—are most effective when started earlier in life. As we age, our bodies change, and some treatments may lose their impact. Healthy aging isn’t an afterthought. Take care of your body now—your future self will thank you. Here is the published study.
Here is an interesting article linking a decades-old diabetes drug: Metformin to slow down in aging. More study is needed but exciting nonetheless.
The landmark TAME (Targeting Aging with Metformin) Trial is recruiting adults aged 65–79 to help test whether this trusted diabetes drug can delay or prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Spanning 14 leading research centers over six years, this is your chance to help redefine how we approach aging itself. Learn more and sign up for updates here.
