A habits check, not a medical test.

What this check looks at

An afternoon slump often follows the meals before it. This check asks about meal rhythm, breakfast, protein and fibre on the plate, a walk after eating, and sleep. Your answers describe habits. They cannot measure your blood sugar or diagnose diabetes.

Who it is for

This is for adults who want steadier energy through the day. You do not need a glucose reading to answer. Choose what fits an ordinary week. If you think you may have diabetes, the NHS advises seeing a GP. [2]

What you get

Your answers lead to a personal habits summary and a first area to focus on. The shared quiz continues from the answer you select above. You can review your result before you choose whether to join the paid membership. A card is not needed for this check. Membership terms and the price appear before payment.

A useful habit to know

The NIDDK says physical activity may help with blood glucose and may also help sleep and mood. It also suggests a meal plan made with your health care team if you have diabetes. These are habits, not a treatment. [1]

Common questions
