Terms of Service & Clinical Disclaimer

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website located at daibetesprediction.com ("DiabetesRisk", "Platform", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must refrain from using the platform.

2. Medical Screening Disclaimer

The content, questionnaires, scoring algorithms, interactive "What-If" lifestyle simulators, and printable doctor discussion summaries provided by this platform are designed solely for educational, informational, and personal risk-awareness purposes.

• No Doctor-Patient Relationship: Using this application does not establish a doctor-patient, practitioner-client, or privileged relationship of any kind.
• No Substitute for Clinical Evaluation: You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking clinical care because of any score, percentage, or recommendation displayed on this site.
• Laboratory Testing Required: Definitive prediabetes or type 2 diabetes diagnoses require diagnostic blood panels (such as Hemoglobin A1c, Fasting Plasma Glucose, or Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests) performed by certified clinical laboratories under physician supervision.

3. Medical Emergencies

This website is not equipped or intended for emergency medical situations. If you are experiencing symptoms of acute metabolic distress (such as severe hypoglycemia, extreme thirst, disorientation, labored breathing, or diabetic ketoacidosis), please immediately call your local emergency services (e.g., 911 in the US) or visit the nearest emergency medical facility.

4. Algorithm Scope & Model Limitations

Our predictive calculations combine scoring standards from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) with a regularized multivariate logistic regression model trained on 100,000 anonymized clinical observations. While this empirical calibration provides significant accuracy enhancements over simple paper checksheets:

• Statistical risk probabilities represent population trends rather than individual medical certainty.
• Unmeasured clinical variables (such as dietary glycemic load, sleep apnea, medication interactions, or specific genetic mutations) may influence personal metabolic health.
• The model does not screen for Type 1 Diabetes, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), or gestational diabetes.

5. Intellectual Property & Permitted Use

All interface designs, code, scoring engines, and written documentation on this platform are protected under applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to utilize the screener for personal evaluation and to print summaries for direct discussion with your physician.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DiabetesRisk, its developers, operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, this application or reliance on any calculated risk metrics.
