Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis: Pharmacotherapy follow-up can improve clinical outcomes of outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: In this single blind, placebo-controlled trial, the participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus are randomized into two groups:

1. pharmaceutical care intervention (n=30, attended by the protocol of follow-up) and

2. control (n=30, attended by the usual procedure of dispensing).

Primary outcomes evaluated are: hospitalization (percentage of participants hospitalized), severe evolving complication - ischemic or proliferative retinopathy, severe renal insufficiency, severe hypoglycemia, coronaropathy or evolving foot lesion (presence or absence).

Other parameter checked: A1c hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood glucose (BG), blood pressure (BP), total cholesterol (TC), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and mortality. The investigators follow up all patients for up to 12 months.


Clinical Trial Description

Background. Few Brazilian randomized controlled trials have established the benefits of pharmacotherapy follow-up in care of outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in low-middle income country. This study evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy follow-up care to get better outcomes in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attended in the public health service in Brazil.

Method: In this single blind, placebo-controlled trial, the investigators random patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus into two groups: 1) pharmaceutical care intervention (n=30, attended by the protocol of follow-up) and 2) control (n=30, attended by the usual procedure of dispensing).

Primary outcomes checked are: percentage of hospitalization, severe evolving complication (ischemic or proliferative retinopathy, severe renal insufficiency, severe hypoglycemia, coronaropathy and evolving foot lesion).

The investigators also check: A1c hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood glucose (BG), blood pressure (BP), total cholesterol (TC), HbA1c/BP, HbA1c/TC, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and mortality. The participants are followed up to 12 months. ;
