Diabetes Risk
What is Diabetes Risk?
Diabetes Risk refers to the likelihood of developing diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body's ability to regulate blood sugar (glucose) becomes impaired. This risk is influenced by factors such as genetics, age, weight, lifestyle, and pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure or prediabetes.

What does it mean to have high Diabetes Risk?
A high Diabetes Risk suggests a greater risk of developing diabetes. If the high risk is left unmanaged, it can progress to type 2 diabetes, which increases the likelihood of serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage (neuropathy), vision loss (retinopathy), stroke, and poor wound healing, potentially leading to infections or amputations.
What does it mean to have low Diabetes Risk?
A low Diabetes Risk suggests a lower risk of developing diabetes. Maintaining healthy habits is crucial for long-term metabolic health. Monitoring your blood sugar level regularly is also recommended for the early detection of diabetes.
How does Vitals™ SDK measure it?
Diabetes Risk is assessed through combination of blood pressure measurement, along with evaluations of risk factors such as height, weight, age, BMI, diet, smoking status, medical history, and lifestyle.
