* 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.
