NHSGGC’s Type 2 Diabetes Hub wants you to know your ‘score’.

There are a number of factors that can increase your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes including your age, weight, ethnicity and family history.

These all combine to let you know your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes and it only takes a few minutes to know the score.

Use Diabetes UK’s online 'Know Your Risk' tool. All you need are scales and a tape measure and you’re ready. https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start

Making changes to your lifestyle such as managing your weight, getting more active or stopping smoking could reduce your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Click the links to find out more about our services which can support you to make these positive changes.
