Population and applicability

Structured population data were available for 6 of 6 supporting studies. Diabetes type was heterogeneous: 1 studies with type 1 diabetes, 1 studies with type 2 diabetes. 3 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.

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

  • Patients with chronic pancreatitis.
  • Individuals with insulin-treated diabetes.
  • Adults with diabetes seeking improved management strategies
  • Patients utilizing community pharmacy services for diabetes care
  • Adults and children with type 1 diabetes.
  • Individuals living in rural areas with limited access to diabetes care.
  • Individuals with Type 1 diabetes managing their condition.
  • Individuals with Type 2 diabetes seeking improved glycemic control.
  • Young Adult (19–39)
  • Middle Aged (40-64)
  • Male
  • Female

Limitations

  • 3 relevant studies have unresolved authoritative design evidence and do not contribute to design-specific or RoB-specific claims.
  • 1 supporting study does not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.
  • Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: active_comparator, baseline_within_group, unknown_unresolved, usual_care.
  • 3 supporting studies have high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.
  • 3 of 6 studies with duration data have follow-up of 12 weeks or less.
