Diabetes type 2 is a preventable disease. An early identification of the genetic risk to diabetes type 2 allows to intervene avoiding the pathology development and further worsening.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

Hitherto type 2 diabetes was a pathology connected to adult age, but the increasing incidence in younger populations makes clear the necessity of a change towards healthier lifestyle habits away from sedentarism and unhealthy diet. This is why we ALL should be aware of our own, and our families, lifestyle habits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing whether we have a high genetic predisposition risk to diabetes type 2 is a huge opportunity to act and take prevention measures<\/strong>, no more no less than having healthier diets and making regular exercise. Simple decisions becoming regular habits protect efficiently from diabetes type 2 (and its future problems) as well as cardiovascular pathologies.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Type 2 diabetes genetic risk test by DIABETESprevent\u00a0 <\/em><\/h2>\n

Based on a wide population study<\/a> diabetes type 2 genetic risk test picks up the presence of risk variants of 16 genetic polymorphisms<\/strong>. A polymorphism is a variation inside de DNA sequence among individuals of a specific population (at least 1% of the population)<\/p>\n

It has been shown that these variants are present in people who develop type 2 diabetes. Each polymorphism is related to different pathways of developing pathology. In general, either in the production of insulin by the pancreas or in cellular assimilation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How do I receive my report genetic risk test?<\/h2>\n

Within fifteen days of taking the test you will receive a warm in your inbox email that your result is available. To see your result you can either log in the web platform<\/strong> (diabetesprevent.net) or open the app<\/strong> and log in using your personal code. (Here there is a tutorial how to log in the app<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In the starting screen you\u00b4ll see a number in a scale where your risk should show up as a numerical value.<\/p>\n

That\u00b4s your risk score predicting your genetic predisposition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The score of the genetic risk to diabetes type test<\/h2>\n

Your score of the genetic risk test is your numeric DIABETESprevent genetic risk value. This value has been get through a sophisticated algorithm considering the different statistic weight of each genetic risk variant and the type 2 diabetes family history.<\/p>\n

This algorithm is based on wide populations studies which has taken mind the shown ascendance and the impact of certain genes to developing type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Depending on what genes show risk variants your score could be higher or lower.<\/p>\n

The result offers your score as a percentage.<\/p>\n
