Diabetes can be life threatening! But with early detection
it is manageable. This test is designed to allow you to answer questions
that may indicate that a diabetic condition exists. It is not intended
to replace or be a substitute for a clinical exam, which should be completed
in an appropriate setting, such as your doctor's office. It is now estimated
that over 21 million Americans (177 million people worldwide) have diabetes
and at least half of them don't know it! Please take a moment to answer
the test questions.
Instructions:
(1.)
Complete each question by indicating the degree of incidence.
(2.)
Your "Total Number of Points" is automatically
calculated as you answer the questions and is displayed in the
box below the test. "Points" are scored this way: High
incidence=10 points / Medium incidence=5
points / Low incidence=0 points
