A one-year observational study was conducted to evaluate the quality of life of diabetic patients under the care of a clinical pharmacist. During diabetes education or management, patients were asked to complete a telephone survey on Diabetes Related QOL which had previously been validated. An electronic medical record was also used to obtain the most recent BrE A1C, Hypertension, lipid profile, and NSAID use of the patient. Clinical outcomes and quality of life scores were assessed using correlation and logistic regression analysis. Responses to the survey were collected from 47 patients. Based on an overall score of median one, one indicates very high satisfaction, and five indicates very high dissatisfaction. There was a correlation between lower LDL, contraction and relaxation of hypertension Patient satisfaction values in more satisfied patients (r=0.32, 0.3, 0.33; p=0.03, 0.03, 0.02). Furthermore, managing their diseases took more time for patients who took more medications (r=0.29, p=0.04), experienced extra pain with their diabetes treatment (r=0.32, p=0.02), and as a result of diabetes, they were more conscious of how they looked (r=0.32, p=0.02).
