Diabetes Risk Score Calculator

About this calculator

FINDRISC (the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) predicts 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes using only self-reported, non-laboratory factors — age, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, daily fruit/vegetable intake, history of high blood pressure medication, prior high blood glucose readings, and family history of diabetes — each weighted and summed into a single score. It was developed and validated on a large Finnish population cohort and has since been externally validated across many other countries.

Primary-care clinicians and public-health screening programs use FINDRISC as a first-pass triage tool precisely because it needs no blood draw: people scoring above a risk threshold are flagged for follow-up with an actual fasting glucose or HbA1c test, which makes it practical for mass screening in workplaces, pharmacies and community health events where lab testing isn’t feasible.

This calculator walks through the FINDRISC questions and returns your total score along with the corresponding 10-year type 2 diabetes risk category.
