What is your waist measurement?

Why does this matter?

Carrying excess body fat around your middle increases your risk of type 2 diabetes.

IMPORTANT: Did you know? Your waist size is not necessarily your jeans size.

To measure your waist it is half way between your bottom rib and top of the hip bone

How to measure your waist:

Many of us underestimate our waist size. Make sure you use a tape measure and use your fingers to feel for your bottom rib and the top of your hip bone and measure around your body directly between these two points.

Don't have measuring tape?
Use a piece of string to wrap around your middle and then measure this against a ruler or a metal tape measure.
