The patient participating till completion of the study were 80 of type 2 diabetic patients (40 patients in each group) with poor glycemic control (HbA1clevel ≥ 7%). Results: Patients in the CDTM group had significantly improvement in fasting plasma glucose level (p=0.049) than those in the control group. However, HbA1c level was not significantly different. Regarding self-management knowledge, the two groups were statistically different in disease, medication and exercise/health care (p=0.036, 0.015, 0.010 respectively) including self-management behavior in medication/treatment and exercise/health care (p=0.004, 0.026 respectively). In addition, the resolved of drug related problems in CDTM group was significantly greater than in the control group (p=0.002). Furthermore, the modification of medication in CDTM group was significantly greater than those in the control group (p=0.002). Conclusion: The results from this study indicated Type 2 diabetic patient care using CDTM by pharmacist improved the clinical outcomes self-management knowledge, self-management behavior and the resolve of drug related problem.
