Diabetes Risk Info
Diabetes Risk assesses an individual’s likelihood of developing diabetes. To evaluate this risk, our system uses a range of parameters, including HbA1c levels. HbA1c, or glycated haemoglobin, reflects average blood sugar levels over the past three months and categorises diabetes risk into low, medium, or high.
Assessing Diabetes Risk is crucial for early detection and intervention. Elevated HbA1c levels indicate higher blood sugar levels over time, suggesting that the individual is either at greater risk of developing diabetes or already has the condition. Lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and increased physical activity, can help mitigate this risk. Regular monitoring and consultation with healthcare professionals are essential for accurate assessment and personalised management strategies.
