Class of 2009 Abstract / OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to determine if a pharmacist run diabetes management clinic assists patients in the successful management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
METHODS: Patients must have been enrolled and participated in at least one visit to the pharmacist run diabetes management program at North Country Health Care Clinic (“NCHCC”). A retrospective chart review was completed to determine patient outcomes.
RESULTS: A total of 82 charts were reviewed and 49 patients were qualified for the study. A total of 19 men (mean age 42.1; SD 12.1) and 30 females (mean age 55.0; SD 14.4) completed at least one visit to the pharmacist run diabetes management program. HbA1c levels were significantly lower after one or more visits to the pharmacist run diabetes clinic (p=<0.001) for all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who participate in the pharmacist run diabetes management clinic appear to successfully lower HbA1c values after at least one visit to the program.
