Pilot feasibility study evaluates community pharmacy-led diabetes care, improving outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Key Points

This study aims to assess the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of a pharmacy-led diabetes management model using continuous glucose monitoring in adults with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes.
Single-arm pilot feasibility study across 11 community pharmacies in South Korea with 30 adults enrolled.
Intervention included medication, exercise, and nutrition counseling integrated with continuous glucose monitoring.
Primary endpoint assessed achievement of HbA1c ≤ 7.0%, meaningful reduction, and time in target range at week 12.
36.7% of participants achieved the primary composite endpoint at week 12.
HbA1c decreased by 0.70% (95% CI: –1.00 to –0.39; p < 0.001) after 12 weeks.
Time in range increased by 5.8 percentage points (p < 0.001), demonstrating improved glycemic control.
