it is estimated that there are more than 4 million people living with type 2 diabetes in the UK, and millions more are at risk of developing the condition.

An increasing number of these people are under 40.

Finding out your risk of type 2 diabetes only takes a few minutes. It could be the most important thing you do today...

Diabetes UK have released a ‘Know Your Risk’ tool. To calculate your risk they will ask you for some special category data. Special category data in this context relates to your health and ethnicity. This information will be stored in such a way that it cannot identify you. All information provided will only be used for the reasons described.

Before you start, grab a tape measure and scales...

You must be 18 or over to complete this tool.
Please note: the results will not be accurate if you are pregnant.
