SUMMARY:

 

Background: The negative impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus is notably more significant when the diagnosis is delayed cause early identification makes it possible to take measures to reduce clinical complications and the speed of disease progression. Thus, applying point-of-care glycated hemoglobin testing in community pharmacies can be a strategy for detecting undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pharmacists are accessible to users and professionals who can perform the tests and interpret their results. Aim: To evaluate the use of use of point-of-care glycated hemoglobin testing to detect new cases of diabetes mellitus in a public community pharmacy.  Method: This cross-sectional study included individuals without a previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus who met the criteria for screening according to the Brazilian Diabetes Society, identified during health fair attendance at a public community pharmacy. Results: One hundred and eight users met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of the patients was 54.4 (± 15.4) years, ranging from 22 to 80 years. Eighty (74.1%) participants had glycated hemoglobin levels over the standard threshold, of which 58 (72.5%) were in the pre-diabetes range, and 22 (27.5%) had glycated hemoglobin levels > 6.4%, corresponding to a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: Screening by clinical pharmacists in a Brazilian public community pharmacy made it possible to identify individuals with glycated hemoglobin alterations that corresponded to the pre-diabetes state or a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The experience was successful and the use of point-of-care glycated hemoglobin testing helped pharmacists to carry out immediate interventions as self-care guidelines and referral of individuals for investigation of diabetes mellitus in an appropriate medical service.
