The impact of pharmacist care on diabetes outcomes in primary care settings: An umbrella review of published systematic reviews

Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating illness of an increasing prevalence that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. In 2017, diabetes affected 8.8% of individuals between 20 –79 years of age globally [2], and will affect about 592 million people by 2035 [3,4]. Similarly, diabetes-related complications (e.g. nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases) are on the rise due to uncontrolled diabetes [5], resulting in high healthcare costs [6– 8].
