More than 200 people found out whether they are in danger of developing Type 2 diabetes and were offered advice on the condition at a health roadshow in Ipswich.
The Diabetes UK Healthy Lifestyle Roadshow tested 204 people in free diabetes risk assessments.
Some 51% of the people who took part in the tests were found to have a moderate to high risk of developing the condition in the next decade and were referred to their GPs for further advice.
About 11,900 people in the Suffolk area are thought to have diabetes, but are not aware that they have the condition. The roadshow aimed to identify some of these people.
