- Impact of a community-based diabetes self-management program on key metabolic parameters Courtney JOHNSON Janelle F. RUISINGER Jessica BATES Brian J. BARNES Medicina United States Diabetes Mellitus Longitudinal Studies Phar maceutical Services Patient Education as Topic Objective : Characterize the impact of a pharmacist-led diabetes self-management program on three key metabolic parameters: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) among employee health program participants. Methods : A self-insured company in the Kansas City metropolitan area began offering a pharmacist-led diabetes self-management program to eligible company employees and their dependents in 2008. A retrospective pre-post analysis was conducted to determine if the program affected key metabolic parameters in participants by determining mean change after one year of participation. Results : Among 183 program participants, 65 participants met inclusion criteria. All th ree key metabolic parameters were significantly reduced from baseline to one year of program participation: HbA1c decreased from 8.1% to 7.3% (p=0.007); LDL-C decreased from 108.3 mg/dL to 96.4 mg/dL (p=0.009); and MAP decreased from 96.1 to 92.3 mm Hg (p=0.005). Conclusions : The pharmacist-led diabetes self- management program demonstrat ed significant reductions in HbA1c, LDL-C, and MAP from baseline to one year of program participation. Improvements were statistically significant and clinically re levant for each parameter. Previous studies indicate these reductions may cause reduced overall healthcare costs. 2014 artículo científico 1885-642X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69032767009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69032767009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69032767009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69032767009/69032767009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69032767009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=690 Pharmacy Practice application/pdf Centro de investigaciones y Publicaciones Farmacéuticas Pharmacy Practice (España) Num.4 Vol.12
