About the FINDRISC Score

FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) is a validated questionnaire developed in Finland to assess the 10-year risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. It uses 8 simple questions and requires no blood test, making it ideal for population screening.

FINDRISC has a sensitivity of ~78% and specificity of ~77% for detecting undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Always consult your doctor for clinical evaluation.

Yes! Studies show that lifestyle interventions (healthy diet, regular exercise, modest weight loss) can reduce the risk by 58%. Even modest changes — walking 30 minutes daily and losing 5–7% of body weight — make a significant difference.
