Diabetes is a noncommunicable disease associated with an increased risk of serious complications and life-threatening conditions among poor glycemic control. Diabetic patients require periodic health care visits and medical treatments. Regarding the outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019, the prescription delivery system was developed for well- controlled diabetic patients to decrease congestion and interrupt its transmission. The objective of this retrospective research was to evaluate the effects of prescription delivery system (PDS) and routine picked-up system (RPS) on the HbA1c level in Type 2 diabetic patients in primary care unit. Retrospective data was performed by including grade 1-2 diabetic patients obtained prescription delivery system and routine picked-up system during the period from October 2020 to March 2022. The numbers of this study were 134 (PDS group = 61, RPS group = 73). The statistic was independent t-test. The results revealed that the HbA1c level in PDS group was significantly increased (p = 0.003) and also significantly higher than RPS group (p = 0.040). Thus, the prescription delivery system affects higher HbA1c level than the routine picked-up system
