About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether community pharmacy-based risk assessment and point-of-care HbA1c testing can help detect undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and prediabetes among adults in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, who have no previous diabetes diagnosis.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What proportion of participants fall into each Finnish Diabetes Risk Score category? What proportion of participants at high or very high risk have HbA1c results within the prediabetes or diabetes range?
Participants will:
Complete the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score questionnaire at a community pharmacy. Receive a finger-prick HbA1c test at the pharmacy if their risk score is 15 or higher.
Visit a general practitioner or primary care facility for diagnostic confirmation if their HbA1c result is abnormal.
Attend follow-up assessments at three and six months if a general practitioner confirms type 2 diabetes.

Trial population
The study population will consist of adults visiting participating community pharmacies in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, who have no previous diagnosis of diabetes. Participants will be recruited through convenience sampling during routine pharmacy visits. Those classified as having a high or very high diabetes risk will receive community pharmacy-based point-of-care HbA1c testing. Participants with GP-confirmed type 2 diabetes will enter the six-month follow-up cohort.

Treatment Initiation After Confirmed Type 2 Diabetes
Number and percentage of participants with GP-confirmed type 2 diabetes who initiate lifestyle management, oral medication, insulin, or combination treatment.
Change in HbA1c
Mean change in HbA1c percentage points from the initial community pharmacy measurement to the three-month and six-month measurements among participants with GP-confirmed type 2 diabetes.
