Methods for assessing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other related disorders include obtaining an NMR derived reference spectrum for a known glucose concentration sample and storing this information as a reference standard. A patient blood sample is collected and NMR derived patient spectrums for the blood sample are obtained. The two NMR data sets (the reference and the patient) are compared and a glucose concentration is determined for the patient sample. The glucose concentration can be evaluated with a blood sample undergoing lipoprotein cholesterol evaluation. The NMR based test can be used to concurrently provide a glucose concentration and lipoprotein constituent values based on a single testing event. The disclosure also includes a multi-purpose test, i.e., a test which concurrently provides lipoprotein screening and coronary heart disease risk evaluation along with a diabetes screening and risk assessment for developing Type 2 diabetes. A method for assessing diabetes includes identifying the presence of diabetic dyslipidemia based on the values of predetermined NMR measured lipoprotein constituents.
