    i've seen this (my wife watches it) and i'd sooner recommend people go to their own GP for an appropriate medical assesment than filling out a form for a tv show tbh.









    OT: the girl on it from limerick is gorgeous! :o

    There will be approx. 6 GP's performing the screenings in the Crescent and it's free! The form is to evaluate your risk of developing diabetes.
