What is SugarRisk?
SugarRisk is an educational prediabetes risk calculator and metabolic health dashboard. It is built to help adults understand how common risk factors interact – not to replace lab tests or medical care.
Why this tool exists
Many people only discover prediabetes or type 2 diabetes when blood sugar is already high. At the same time, online information can be confusing, extreme or focused on quick fixes.
SugarRisk was created to offer a calm, structured way to look at multiple risk factors in one place: age, body size, waist circumference, activity level, blood pressure, family history and – if you have them – basic lab values.
How SugarRisk should be used
- As a starting point for a conversation with your doctor or nurse.
- As a way to understand how lifestyle, weight and family history influence risk.
- As a gentle reminder to keep up with routine blood work and check-ups.
The SugarRisk index is experimental. It combines elements from commonly used diabetes risk tools, but it is not a validated medical score, not a diagnosis and not a treatment recommendation.
What SugarRisk is not
- It does not replace blood tests ordered and interpreted by your healthcare team.
- It does not tell you that you have or do not have diabetes or prediabetes.
- It does not provide personalised medical advice, prescriptions or emergency guidance.
