Pharmacists step in to tackle diabetes crisis
NCT ID NCT07339852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a pharmacist-led care pathway can improve blood sugar control in 600 adults with type 2 diabetes who are not meeting their A1C targets. Participants will receive step-by-step guidance from pharmacists using a web-based tool, compared to usual care from their doctor or nurse. The goal is to see if this approach helps people achieve healthier blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pharmacist-led diabetes care pathway
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that pharmacist-led care helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control and lower their risk of complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage study (600 participants) comparing a new care pathway to usual care. Results may not apply to all settings, and the intervention may not lead to lasting improvements.
