Welcome to the QDiabetes® diabetes risk calculator
Welcome to the QDiabetes® diabetes Web Calculator. You can use this calculator to work out your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes over the next ten years by answering some simple questions. It is suitable for people who do not already have a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes.
The QDiabetes® algorithm has been developed by doctors and academics working in the UK National Health Service and is based on routinely collected data from many thousands of GPs across the country who have freely contributed data for medical research.
Whilst QDiabetes® is intended for use in the UK, it has not been accepted as yet for clinical use. All medical decisions need to be taken by a patient in consultation with their doctor. The authors and the sponsors accept no responsibility for clinical use or misuse of this score.
The science underpinning the QDiabetes® equations has been published in the British Medical Journal, where it is known as QDScore®.
