Diabetes distress was present in most participants despite glucose management that was largely achieving treatment goals. Pharmacist-led educational interventions significantly reduced overall DDS score, emotional burden, regimen distress, A1C, and PHQ-2 score. The results of this study suggest that people with T2DM should receive routine screening for diabetes distress and that pharmacists can positively affect diabetes management and emotional well-being through tailored education.
