Clinical pharmacist interventions have resulted in optimized diabetes control in complex patients; however, there are no studies examining the durability of achieved outcomes after patients discontinued being seen by the pharmacist. A pharmacist-led comprehensive medication management (CMM) Diabetes Intensive Medication Management (DIMM) “tune up” clinic provided the opportunity to evaluate long-term glycemic control outcomes following clinical discharge. This study used a retrospective cohort study design with a matched primary care provider (PCP) comparison group. Outcomes were compared between the groups at several post-discharge intervals (6, 9, and 12 months) using independent t tests and chi-square tests, where appropriate. DIMM-managed patients achieved an average HbA1c reduction of 3% upon discharge, and maintained an average HbA1c concentration that was significantly lower than PCP-managed patients at 6 months (p &lt; 0.001) and 9 months (p = 0.009) post-discharge. Although DIMM-managed patients had lower HbA1c than PCP-managed patients at 12 months post-discharge, the difference was not significant (p = 0.105). Similar findings were noted for average FPG and LDL across the study time points. No differences in average HDL levels were reported across the time points. A significantly larger proportion of DIMM-managed patients maintained HbA1c &lt; 8% compared to PCP-managed patients at 6 months (67.5% versus 47.2%, p = 0.001) and 9 months (62.6% versus 40.6%, p = 0.040) post-discharge; DIMM-managed patients had a larger, but non-significant, proportion of goal retention compared to PCP-managed patients at 12 months (56.9% versus 47.2%, p = 0.126) post-discharge. Similarly, a significantly larger proportion of DIMM-managed patients sustained HbA1c &lt; 9% compared to PCP-managed patients at 6 months (87.8% versus 66.7%, p &lt; 0.001) and 9 months (82.1% versus 68.3%, p = 0.012) post-discharge; however, there was no significant difference at 12 months. The attenuation of the DIMM-managed metabolic biomarkers suggests that an additional follow-up visit or touchpoint may be helpful. The personalized care of the DIMM “tune up” approach was successful in achieving sustained glycemic control for up to 9 months. Outcomes can help inform future long-term result durability evaluations.
