• Next Steps: Keep up the good work by maintaining healthy habits like eating well, staying active, and scheduling regular check-ups with your doctor.

Moderate Risk

• What it Means: Your answers indicate you could be at moderate risk. This doesn’t mean you have type 1 diabetes, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
• Next Steps: Consider scheduling a diabetes screening with your doctor to rule out any concerns. Small lifestyle changes, like cutting back on sugary drinks, can also help reduce your risk.

High Risk

• What it Means: Your answers suggest a high risk for type 1 diabetes. This is something you shouldn’t ignore.
• Next Steps: Make an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They can run tests and provide guidance on managing or preventing the condition.

Why It’s Important to Take Action

If you’re at moderate or high risk, don’t panic! Think of this quiz as a helpful nudge, like a friend reminding you to tie your shoes before a race. Early detection and small changes can have a big impact on your long-term health.

And remember, even if you’re at low risk now, it’s still important to stay proactive. Risks can change over time, and prevention is always easier than treatment.
