Pharmacist-led diabetic patient monitoring

Method Thirty type 2 diabetic patients receiving their medication through the Pharmacy of Your Choice (POYC) scheme were assessed. Patient compliance to medication and to self-blood glucose monitoring was reported before (t=0) and following pharmacist intervention (t=1). The pharmacist intervention included an educational session and distribution of a ‘Diabetes Patient Information Leaflet’. HbA1c testing was performed and patients with out-of-range values were referred.
