Prospective randomized controlled intervention study involved T2DM patients and conducted in two community pharmacies at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India from January 2012 to December 2012. The assessment of DRPs was based on the PCNE. Changes in HBA1C, LDL, BP, foot examinations, changes medical and medication utilization were studied. Using as control group, received usual care, and interventional group provided, intervened with use of the STG. Researcher provided the knowledge to community pharmacists and patients. Baseline and interventional data were collected at 0,3,6,9 and 12 months. Over 12 month study, participants’ average HBA1C reduced from 8.9 % at initial visit to 7.5 %. During this time, the eye examination rate was raised from 31 % to 48 %, and the foot examination rate was raised from 35 % to 50 %.
