Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 condition will be recruited. Two groups will be created one arm consists of the patient undergoing intervention for Pharmacist led diabetes education assessment and 1-year follow-up plan will be devised for the interventional arm. The interventional Diabetes Educator Pharmacist will compute the baseline parameters and document all relevant baseline details pertaining to cost, e.g Direct and Indirect cost. However, all patients will be followed up on the 3-month interval with a set appointment with Health Care Practionaire (HCP). On every visit there will be 30 minutes session to be performed with the participant and all parameters will be recorded again.
The mode of intervention will be the face-to-face interview and individualized care and education sessions will be performed.

1) Pre-consultation assessment for adherence. (5 Minutes)
2) Medication consultation: It will include any particular change recommended by the physician and modification in the dosing of the current medication. The modification in the medication regimen will be done based on the blood Glucose monitoring Log kept by the participants (10 Minutes)
3) Post-consultation interventional education session. (15 Minutes)


The diabetes education plan will contain the following aspects.
1- Diet and Exercise Counselling and targets.
2- Education on Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia.
