* The exact age is not available and age groups were slightly different in the risk assessment forms for FINDRISC [15] and for Diabetes UK [18], and are therefore shown separately.
**One pharmacy mainly filled in the background questionnaire for participants with high or very high risk, therefore the level of education is missing for 20 of the 23 participants with a low or medium risk recruited at this pharmacy.
Results from the diabetes risk tests by ethnicity (FINDRISC [15] and diabetes UK [18]) and the corresponding statistical risk of developing diabetes type 2 within the next 10 years, self-rated health and HbA1c at inclusion.
| Diabetes risk test | Total score | Statistical risk of developing diabetes type 2 within the next 10 years | n (%) | Self-rated health | HbA1c, % (n) | |||
