Population and applicability

Structured population data were available for 3 of 3 supporting studies. 1 study described participants with type 2 diabetes. 2 studies described adult participants.

This population information refers to the materialized supporting studies available for review. Omitted support records remain part of the authoritative support accounting and are available through the audit experience.

View reported population descriptions

These descriptions are reported across the supporting studies; they are not a single synthesized population.

  • Adults with diabetes seeking improved management strategies
  • Patients utilizing community pharmacy services for diabetes care
  • Individuals with Type 1 diabetes managing their condition.
  • Individuals with Type 2 diabetes seeking improved glycemic control.
  • Nursing home residents with type 2 diabetes.
  • Patients on basal-bolus insulin therapy.
  • Elderly individuals requiring insulin management.

Limitations

  • 2 relevant studies have unresolved authoritative design evidence and do not contribute to design-specific or RoB-specific claims.
  • Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: baseline_within_group, usual_care.
  • 2 supporting studies have high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.
  • 2 of 3 studies with duration data have follow-up of 12 weeks or less.
