AUSDRISK, the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Tool, is a short questionnaire that estimates your chance of developing type 2 diabetes in the next five years.
It asks about age, sex, background and country of birth, family history, past high glucose, blood pressure medicines, smoking, diet, physical activity and waist measurement.
A score of 5 or less is low risk, 6 to 11 is intermediate risk, and 12 or more is high risk. A high score can also point to undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, so the next step is a blood test arranged by your GP. The tool can overestimate risk in people under 25.
Our clinicians can explain how this applies to you and help with the next step, whether that is a referral, a device, funding or a plan the rest of the team can see.
