This test, of Finnish origin and validated at European level, gives the opportunity to analyze personal risk without the need for invasive tests.
Once done, and depending on the risk and responses of each individual, we develop a computer program (at www.fundacionndiabetes.org) that allows a series of custom tips for prevention.
