Diabetes Risk Test

Read each statement, then write down the

points for each question that is true for you

on a sheet of paper. If a statement

is not true, put a zero. When you are done,

add the points to get your total score. Diabetes

is more common in those of African American,

Hispanic/Latino, Native American,

Asian American, or Pacific Islander descent.
