Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a pharmaceutical care program on the level of glycated hemoglobin for hyperglycemic users of brazilian public health care system in drug treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

The chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM) are a major public health problems of today. There is evidence that glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels above 7% are associated with a progressively greater risk of chronic complications related to DM. However, approximately 60% of diabetics do not achieve glycemic control. In Brazil, pharmacists are not involved in direct care of patients with DM. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial, for six months, in Ouro Preto, Minas terais to determine the effect of pharmaceutical intervention on glycemic control in patients with diabetes and hyperglycemic (A1C \> 7%). One hundred and twenty-nine subjects were randomized to receive usual care only or usual care and pharmaceutical intervention. The population of those who had access in the brazilian public health care system, as consultations with doctors, nurses and nutritionists, laboratory tests and access to essential medicines were considered as conventional health care.
