Abstract: This qualitative study investigates pharmacists’ roles in diabetes management, focusing on patient education, medication management, and interprofessional collaboration. Through semi-structured interviews with 15 pharmacists, the study reveals key themes: pharmacists significantly contribute to patient education, optimize medication regimens, and engage in collaborative care with other healthcare professionals. Challenges such as limited resources and patient adherence issues are also discussed. The findings highlight the crucial impact of pharmacists in diabetes care and provide recommendations for enhancing their role in the healthcare system.
