International journal of pharmacy and pharmaceutical scienceSummary: Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of clinical pharmacist intervention on glycemic control based on fasting blood glucose and glycosylated blood glucose level.Methods: A randomized prospective interventional study was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Patients suffering from diabetes for a least 2 y were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The control group was not given any special pharmacist care, while the interventional group had a face-to-face interview, counseling, and telephonic follow-up during the study period. Based on the baseline values and endpoint parametric values, the result of the study was analyzed.Results: The study was analyzed based on the difference in the glycemic index, using HbA1c and FBS values. The basal values of HbA1c were similar for both groups (8.5%), but a marked reduction to 7.2% was observed in the interventional group. FBS values reduced from 208 mg/dl to 186 mg/dl in the intervention group, while in the usual care group, the reduction was from 211 mg/dl to 198 mg/dl.Conclusion: The inclusion of clinical pharmacists in the healthcare team can offer a remarkable improvement in patient's condition by providingmore support in the therapy.
