Frequently Asked Questions
16. When should I be tested for
diabetes?
Anyone 45 years old or older should consider getting tested for
diabetes. If you are 45 or older and you are overweight, it is
strongly recommended that you get tested. If you are younger than
45, you should consider testing if you are overweight and have one
or more of the other risk factors for diabetes. Finding out early
if you have diabetes is important because treatment can prevent or
delay the complications of the disease. (Answer continues on
