In this session, presenters give an overview of a study that included participants with T2D recruited during their clinic visits to participate in a pharmacist-led educational intervention based on the ADCES7 Self-Care BehaviorsTM. The intervention significantly reduced overall diabetes distress (DDS) score, emotional burden, plan distress, A1C, and PHQ-2 score. Participants were highly satisfied with the service. The results of this study suggest people with T2D should receive routine screening for diabetes distress, and pharmacists can positively affect diabetes management and emotional well-being through tailored education.
