ALMOST two-thirds of people assessed in Littlehampton for their risk of developing diabetes have been referred to their doctors.
A Healthy Lifestyle Roadshow which visited the town two weeks ago carried out free diabetes checks on 114 people, with 72 of them (63 per cent) identified as being at moderate to high risk of Type 2 diabetes over the next decade.
The percentage was slightly higher than the average in other places which have been visited by the roadshow, but not significantly above, said a spokeswoman for Diabetes UK, which runs the project.
