ALMOST 60 per cent of people tested at a health roadshow event in Bolton town centre could be at risk of diabetes.
The Diabetes UK Healthy Lifestyle roadshow set up in Victoria Square last week and tested 281 people to find out if they are at risk of developing type two diabetes.
Of those, 167 people were referred to their GP for further advice or tests because their risk of diabetes was moderate to high.
Of the 11,000 people tested nationally last year, just over half were referred to their GP.
