    This study assessed knowledge, awareness, and practices related to diabetes among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. The study found that knowledge about diabetes was poor among 46% of diabetics and 64% of non-diabetics. Awareness of diabetes risk factors, symptoms, and complications was low overall among both groups. For diabetic patients, their fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels decreased after receiving pharmacist interventions during their second visit. The study concludes that health professionals need to increase education and awareness about diabetes through organized outreach efforts in order to improve patient outcomes and build a healthier community.
