Abstract
          Some of the patients with type 2 diabetes who received insulin injections at the Health Promoting Hospital Network Sisaket Province had drug therapy problems and were Unableto control their blood sugar levels.  A study found that telepharmacy care helped type 2 diabetes patients to control their blood sugar levels better. Therefore, This model was developed and implemented to solve the problem of improving blood sugar levels.

          This study aims to determine the adherence and knowledge of diabetes, blood sugar and HbA1C level with telepharmacy services among type 2 diabetic patients with insulin injections. This study was a quasi-experimental. Purposively selected, the samples were type 2 diabetic patients who received insulin injection at the Health Promoting Hospital Network, Sisaket Province. The study period was 4 months. The data were analyzed using by PSPP programs, descriptive statistics, and paired t-tests.

          The results before and after the delivery of pharmaceutical care services combined with remote counseling telepharmacy revealed respectively as follows. The mean scores for the insulin technique knowledgewere5.63 ± 1.29 and 6.41 (±1.07) which were significantly different.The mean FPG values were 162.1 (±72.86) and 143.6 (±54.35) which indicated a significant decrease. The mean HbA1c levels were 9.62 (±1.68) and 8.13 (±1.02)which likewise demonstrated a significant decrease. The overall level of medication adherence was 89.2%.This study suggests that telepharmacy for type 2 diabetic patients with insulin injections can enhance compliance and help them controltheir blood sugar level more effectively.
