There are two good reasons to take the type 2 Diabetes Risk Test and find out your risk.

1.  You may be at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing chronic disease in Australia. One in four Victorian adults over the age of 25 have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

If you are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, changing your lifestyle can prevent or delay the onset.

2.  You may already have type 2 diabetes and not know it

You can have type 2 diabetes and not know it because there may be no obvious symptoms. It is estimated that for every person known to have type two diabetes there is another who has it and is unaware. 

If you already have type 2 diabetes, the sooner you find out the better your chance of preventing serious health complications.
