Risk factors

Age

The model accepts ages between 65 and 95 years. If ages below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 65 and 95 years, respectively.

BMI

The model accepts BMI between 16.2 and 38.1 Kg/m². If BMI below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 16.2 and 38.1 Kg/m², respectively.

Waist Circumference

The model accepts Waist Circumference between 63 and 127 cm. If waist circumference below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 63 and 127 cm, respectively.

Daytime Lowest Blood Glucose

The model accepts daytime lowest blood glucose between 2.1 and 10.5 mmol/L. If fasting plasma glucose below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 2.1 and 10.5 mmol/L, respectively.

Daytime Highest Blood Glucose

The model accepts daytime highest blood glucose between 6.3 and 27.8 mmol/L. If fasting plasma glucose below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 6.3 and 27.8 mmol/L, respectively.

Fasting Blood Glucose

The model accepts fasting blood glucose between 2.2 and 16.3 mmol/L. If Fasting blood glucose below or above are entered, the program will calculate probabilities at 2.2 and 16.3 mmol/L, respectively.

Daytime hypoglycemia

Enter yes or no depending on whether the patient’s blood glucose levels fall below 3.9 mmol/L between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM.

Drinking

Enter yes or no depending on whether the patient currently drinks alcohol.

Gender

Male and female are judged based on the results of chromosomal tests.

Insulin use

Enter yes or no depending on whether the patient currently uses insulin.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor Use

Enter yes or no depending on whether the patient currently uses Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.
