A pilot diabetes program in South Auckland, led by pharmacists and nurses, helped people with type 2 diabetes significantly lower their blood sugar levels, with an average HbA1c reduction of 25.2 mmol/mol and 85% of participants improving by at least 5 mmol/mol after seven months.
Māori and Pacific participants saw reductions of 20.7 mmol/mol.
The initiative, funded by the Ministry of Health, provided ongoing support including medication management, lifestyle coaching, and help overcoming access barriers.
