Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a non-communicating disease with an increasing trend in Malaysia. One of the most important aspects in the selfmanagement of diabetes mellitus is the assessment of knowledge among diabetes patients. This study aimed to translate and validate the Malay version of Modified Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT) questionnaire. Methods: A standard back-to-back translation procedure was used to translate the simplified version of the DKT questionnaire from the original version. A total of 120 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the government primary care clinic were selected to answer the questionnaire which consists of socio-demographic and diabetes characteristics questions as well as the 20-item DKT questions. Reliability and validity were tested with Cronbach’s alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Results: The Cronbach’s alpha for the translated questionnaire was acceptable (α=0.573) with the Cronbach’s alpha excluding each item ranged from 0.517 to 0.602. Factor analysis with Varimax rotation identified 6 domains for the 18 items, with 2 to 6 items in each domain. Conclusion: This version of simplified DKT is proven to be valid and reliable, and can be used with caution as a brief assessment of knowledge among diabetic patients specifically tailored for Malaysian population.

Objective: To study the effect of Pharmaceutical Care (PC) program and health education delivered by pharmacist on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patient’s knowledge about diabetes, glycemic control, blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI). Patients and methods: A prospective interventional study including T2DM patients with poor glycemic control, i.e. glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) more than 7%. Patients receiving PC and education about T2DM and cardiovascular disease by the researcher pharmacist. Patients were followed for 26 weeks. The study parameters included HbA1c, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Systolic Blood pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), BMI and Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24). Results: Thirty-eight T2DM patients were included in the study. Thirty-two completed the program. A significant decrease in the HbA1c and FBS at the end line measurements (from 9.1% to 7.4%, P-value = 0.001) and (from 187.4 to 135.3, P-value = 0.001) respectively. A significant decrease occurred in both SBP and DBP (from 129.8 to 125.2, P-value = 0.009) and (from 82.0 to 77.9, P-value =0.001) respectively. Diabetes knowledge score also showed a significant increase at the end of study (from 52.6 to 63.7, P-value =0.001) Conclusion: Pharmaceutical care and health education with continuous follow up delivered by the pharmacist even for a relatively short period of time in collaboration with specialist physician, resulted in improved T2DM Knowledge plus better glycemic and blood pressure control.
