From 11 to 21 November, 50 pharmacies across Luxembourg will offer type 2 diabetes risk assessments. The campaign marks World Diabetes Day and is organised by the Health Ministry, the pharmacists’ association and the Luxembourg Diabetes Association.
The assessments are aimed at people aged 45 and over, as well as those aged 35 and over who have risk factors. Organisers list a family history of diabetes, diabetes during pregnancy, high blood pressure or cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease among those factors.
The assessment takes about ten minutes. A pharmacist will help evaluate the risk and provide individual advice. It is a risk assessment, not a diagnosis.
To take part, visit a pharmacy displaying the campaign flag. Organisers recommend not eating for at least two hours before the visit. The list of all participating pharmacies is available on the official SantéSecu website.
