The Malta Medical Students Association marked World Diabetes Day, celebrated yesterday, at Baystreet today offering people the opportunity to check themselves for diabetes and take a risk assessment
The same service is being offered by health centres and clinics between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. tomorrow. It was also offered today.
According to the European Health Interview Survey, over nine per cent of the Maltese population knew they had diabetes and six per cent were being treated medically for it. The number may, however, be far higher in reality, Health Minister Joe Cassar said yesterday.
