Type 2 Diabetes Early Identification Service

Lloydspharmacy offers a comprehensive risk assessment and blood glucose testing service. This service aims to raise awareness, through effective health promotion, encourage positive adjustments to lifestyle and helps identify people who may have undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes.

The service started in Autumn 2002 as a pilot within Glasgow and was rolled out across the whole Lloydspharmacy estate during 2003. We have completed over 1 million screenings since the launch in 2003, and approximately 55,000 customers have required referral to their GPs for further investigation and treatment.

The diabetes screening service involves the initial test, counselling and referral to the patient’s GP if necessary. This service is provided in conjunction and with support from Diabetes UK. The service has received widespread recognition and has won the People in Retail Award for Customer Service Initiative in 2006 and the Diabetes UK “Raising Awareness Award” on two occasions.

Management of Type 2 Diabetes

Helping people to understand their condition and the reason their medication has been prescribed is important if maximum benefit is to be gained from treatment. This service can incorporate HbA1C measurement which allows the pharmacist to identify how well blood glucose has been controlled, along with a simple medication review.

Good blood glucose control is important if complications of diabetes are to be avoided. Providing patients with information through the use of new technology, such as mobile phones, allows patients to take better control of their condition. Lloydspharmacy has worked with Oxford University and e-San Ltd to develop to t+ diabetes service. The t+ diabetes service can make it easier for patients to stay confidently in control by helping them to develop a better understanding of what affects their blood glucose levels, providing immediate feedback to the patient’s mobile phone whenever a reading is taken. These services can be tailored to meet local needs.
