    Aims: According to a recent national diabetes screening performed by our group in 2018, 18.4% of the Brazilians were found to have high blood glucose. The objective of the present study was to estimate the risk of developing type 2 DM (T2DM) in the next ten years in Brazilian population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in community pharmacies across Brazil, in 2018, where pharmacists applied the FINDRISC questionnaire to estimate the population’s risk of developing T2DM within a ten-year period. Results: The study included 977 pharmacists from 345 municipalities distributed across the five geograph- ical regions of Brazil. Of the 17,580 people evaluated, the South region was found to have the highest frequency (59.6%) among people at very low and/or low risk of developing T2DM, while the North region, the most underserved, presented the highest and/or very highest T2DM risk (24.1%). The factors that mostly and importantly impacted these regional differences were body mass index; the highest daily consumption of vegetables and fruits; history of high blood glucose and family history of T1DM/T2DM. Conclusion: These results showed an impressive change of direction concerning diabetes numbers between the most underserved region in public health care and one of the most developed and best organized regions concerning health assistance, the North and the South, respectively.
