Description
An account of the resource
Self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) offers a strategy used to achieve glycemic control in diabetic patients. However, if SMBG readings are unavailable to clinicians, this strategy will have a limited effect. This study assessed the impact of a reminder mailing on response rates to requests for SMBG logs. Patients were asked to mail completed SMBG logs to the clinic in 2 weeks. For the intervention, a reminder mailing was sent to each patient 1 week before SMBG logs were to be returned. Compliance rates pre and postinterventions were compared. The primary outcome was the percentage of all SMBG logs returned on time. Secondary outcomes included the percentage of SMBG logs returned, percentage fulfilled, percentage of clinic appointments kept, percentage of SMBG logs brought to follow-up appointments, and number of interventions made to antidiabetic therapy. Twenty SMBG requests were made in the preintervention cohort versus 19 in postintervention cohort. A trend toward more on time and fulfilled SMBG requests was observed post vs. preintervention. Overall return rates were similar between groups. A nonsignificant increase in clinic appointments kept and a nonsignificant decrease in interventions made were observed postintervention. Receipt of a reminder mail was not a significant predictor of patients bringing an SMBG log to follow-up appointments. In conclusion, the use of a reminder mail was not associated with an increase in the return rate of SMBG logs, although there were nonsignificant trends toward more on time and fulfilled SMBG logs received during the postintervention period.

Description
An account of the resource
The aim of this study was to identify factors that are associated with patients achieving goal A1c after 6 months in a pharmacist-managed diabetes clinic. This study is a descriptive, retrospective chart review of patients with type 2 diabetes enrolled in a pharmacist-managed diabetes clinic. The primary endpoint was the odds of each identified factor being associated with achievement of goal A1c after 6 months of enrollment. The factors were also evaluated within 2 subgroups: those with a baseline A1c \textgreater7% and those with a baseline A1c \textgreater9%. Of 112 patients enrolled, 58 were included in the analysis. There was a positive association with reaching goal for patients who had \textless1 failure to show (FTS) to office visits in 6 months [odds ratio (OR) 8.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47-58.65], had canceled or FTS to \textless50% of office visits (OR 10.0, 95% CI 1.8-72.79), and brought \textgreater75% of blood glucose logs to their office visits (OR 7.36, 95% CI 1.87-30.88). There was a negative association with reaching the goal for patients with documented social worker involvement (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.04-0.99) and noninsulin or insulin dose increases at \textgreater50% of office visits (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.01-0.55). Overall, this analysis found that patients who had \textless1 FTS, had canceled or FTS to \textless50% of office visits, or who brought \textgreater75% logs to office visits were more likely to achieve goal A1c, whereas patients with social work assistance or dose increases at \textgreater50% of office visits were less likely to reach goal A1c.
