ISLANDERS with concerns they may be Type Two diabetic will be able to access a free walk-in screening during Diabetes week at two Jersey Co-operative Pharmacy locations.

In conjunction with local charities, Diabetes Jersey and the Lion’s Club of Jersey, Pharmacy Locale in Grand Marché St Helier will be offering tests on Tuesday 14 June 2022, with Grand Marché St Peter on Thursday 16 June 2022, both between 9am and 4pm.

It is understood that there are around 4,500 islanders that have type two diabetes, equating to one in every twenty-five of the population, with screenings normally offered to islanders at a cost of £5 from all Jersey Pharmacy Locale locations.
