While an online quiz cannot replace a medical diagnosis, here are some common signs and risk factors for prediabetes that you can consider:
Risk Factors for Prediabetes:
- Age: Being 45 years or older.
- Weight: Overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25).
- Family History: Having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes.
- Physical Activity: Being physically inactive.
- Health Conditions: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a history of gestational diabetes.
Symptoms of Prediabetes:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue

Next Steps:
If you identify with these risk factors or symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider. They may recommend an A1C test, which measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. The A1C ranges are:
A1C Level Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Prediabetes
