Keywords

Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant public health challenges globally, including in Pakistan, where it ranks as the fourth leading cause of death. Chemists play a vital role in diagnosing, treating, and managing type II diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using medical databases SCIELO, LILACS, and VHL. A total of 1190 scholarly articles were screened, resulting in the inclusion of 31 investigations. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria.
Results: Pharmaceutical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in reducing the risk of complications associated with poorly controlled DM2 and promoting patient adherence to medication regimens. Pharmacy specialists are integral to DM2 patient care, contributing to glycemic control, adherence to dosage guidelines, lifestyle modifications, and medication selection based on necessity, efficacy, safety, and affordability.
Conclusion: The involvement of chemists in managing DM2 is crucial for improving patient outcomes and addressing the significant public health burden associated with the condition. Pharmacist-led interventions contribute to better disease control and patient adherence, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality rates associated with DM2.
