Pharmacist-led care pathway for type 2 diabetes in Alberta community pharmacies

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with type 2 diabetes whose HbA1c is not at target will be enrolled and receive a structured pharmacist-led diabetes care pathway in community pharmacies. Pharmacists will provide medication review, shared decision-making, education, monitoring and follow-up visits, and coordinate with patients' primary care providers. Outcomes will include changes in HbA1c and management of cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure and lipids, measured over scheduled follow-ups. Results will be compared to usual care to see if the pharmacist-led approach improves glucose control and care processes.
