This Type 2 Diabetes Risk Score stratifies diabetes risk based on patient age, gender, hypertension status or family history.

The type 2 diabetes risk calculator uses the following two formulas to generate the diabetes risk percentage:

Terms = 6.322 - Sex - Rx Hypertensive - Rx Steroids - (0.063 x Age) - BMI - Family history - Smoker

Risk = 100 / (1 + e^Terms)

Depending on the answers provided, the “terms” formula above is populated with different variables, as described in the table below:
