Throughout the month of November, you can visit any of the 𝟐𝟒𝟑 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 or go online at https://www.multipharma.be/fr/diabete/diabetes.html to have your risk of developing type 2 diabetes assessed.

The screening uses the 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐜 (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) — an internationally validated test used by diabetes healthcare professionals to evaluate your likelihood of developing diabetes in the next 10 years.

On this occasion, we encourage everyone to stay informed, take care of their health, and support all those affected by diabetes.
