譬如，種族因素，BMI等相關risk factors 考慮
ADA Guidelines (american diabetes association ) 如果要篩查Type 2 diabetes annually should be considered in overweight adults (BMI ≥ 25) who have 1 or more of the following risk factors；
- 1st degree relative
- high risk ethnicity
- CVD
- HTN
- HDL
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
而對於亞裔，ADA RecommendationTesting for diabetes should be considered for all Asian American adults who present with a BMI of ≥23 kg/m2;
因為與非西班牙裔美國白人相比，亞裔美國人被認為患 2 型糖尿病的風險更高。
Asian criteria-based BMI was used as follows: <18.5 for underweight, 18.5-22.9 for normal-weight, 23.0-27.5 for overweight, and >27.5 for obese women.
The association of obesity with type 2 diabetes has been recognized for decades, and the major basis for this link is the ability of obesity to engender insulin resistance;
(肥胖是導致胰島素抵抗的主要原因之一）
