Type 2 diabetes affects millions around the world. Genes can increase your risk of developing this metabolic disorder. Find out if you are at increased risk.
Discover Your Genetic Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that disrupts the body’s normal glucose and insulin balance. Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, which helps to keep glucose levels within a healthy range. Individuals with type 2 diabetes have consistently high blood glucose, insulin resistance and a relative lack of insulin. Type 2 diabetes can contribute to other life-threatening disorders, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and poor blood flow.

What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that disrupts the body’s normal glucose and insulin balance. Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells.

Risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Some risk factors for type 2 diabetes are visible, such as obesity (leading to insulin resistance), lack of physical activity, and a poor diet (high sugar). However, “invisible” genetic factors can also increase your risk, regardless of lifestyle.
These genetic factors influence glucose and insulin levels, sensitivity to dietary fatty acids, and how the body responds to insulin. Take this test to understand your genetic risk of type 2 diabetes, so you can make changes today to improve your metabolic health.
