Take the Test

Worried about your risk for type-2 diabetes?  Take this test, which predicts possibility of adult-onset of diabetes, mentioned today in the NYTimes. You'll need your BMI (unless you know your vitals in metrics).  Easy and quick.  And good to know.

For the curious, my risk is very low, according to this test (and theory).  But oddly, there wasn't a question about gestational diabetes. Though, a nurse friend of mine had said that one of the biggest risk indicators is other immediate family members with diabetes, which I don't have.
