Calculate your diabetes risk

I found this interesting chart while surfing for articles.
(Click for larger view)

It shows a calculated risk for a person depending on several risk factors. Although it is developed with Westerners in mind, it generally can be applied to us as well.

My risk of developing diabetes is 0.2%. Interesting figure. How about you?
