Diabetes Risk Calculator

Four simple questions from the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS), made for Indian adults.

How it works

The Indian Diabetes Risk Score was developed by the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation. It adds points for age, waist size, physical activity and diabetes in parents. A score below 30 is low risk, 30–50 is medium risk and 60 or more is high risk.

A high score does not mean you have diabetes — it means a blood test (fasting sugar and HbA1c) is a good idea.

Diabetes Risk Score – FAQs

What should I do if my score is high?

Get a fasting blood sugar and HbA1c test, and show the result to your doctor. Many people find diabetes early this way, when lifestyle changes help the most.

How do I measure my waist?

Stand straight, breathe out gently and measure around your belly at the level of the navel (belly button), without pulling the tape tight.

Who should check their sugar every year?

Adults above 30–35, people with a family history of diabetes, high BMI or waist, high blood pressure, or women who had diabetes in pregnancy — or as advised by a doctor.

This calculator is a simple guide for adults, not a diagnosis. Please talk to your doctor about your results. Not for children or pregnancy.
