DIABETES UK Northern Ireland and MediCare Pharmacy Group are working together in a bid to identify people who may be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
From the beginning of December, 19 MediCare pharmacies, including in Lisburn, will be offering Diabetes UK Risk Assessments to customers. These will assess a person?s risk of getting Type 2 diabetes within ten years and categorise it from low (one in 20) to increased risk (one in 10), moderate risk (one in 7) and finally high risk (one in 3). The trained pharmacy staff will then give advice on what people can do to reduce their risk.
