Scoring 3-9 points
You are probably at low risk for having diabetes now. But don't just forget about it....especially if you are Hispanic/Latino, African American, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander. You may be at higher risk in the future. New guidlines recommend everyone age 45 and over consider being tested for the disease every three years. However, people at high risk should consider being tested at a younger age.

You are at high risk for having diabetes. Only your health care provider can determine if you have diabetes. See your health care provider soon and find out for sure.
