While an online quiz cannot diagnose type 2 diabetes, here are some common risk factors and symptoms to consider:

Risk Factors:

  • Age: Being over 45 years old.
  • Weight: Overweight or obesity.
  • Family History: Having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes.
  • Physical Inactivity: Sedentary lifestyle.
  • Ethnicity: Higher risk for African American, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian American populations.

Symptoms:

  • Frequent Urination: Especially at night.
  • Increased Thirst: Feeling unusually thirsty.
  • Fatigue: Feeling very tired.
  • Blurred Vision: Difficulty focusing.
  • Slow Healing: Cuts or wounds that take longer to heal.

If you have these risk factors or symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. They may recommend tests like the A1C test, fasting blood sugar test, or oral glucose tolerance test.
