Type 2 diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease, which can result in serious complications such as kidney failure and heart disease. Although effective medications exist to slow the progression of kidney damage, they are often underused in primary care, particularly for individuals without a regular family doctor. In response to this gap, 46 community pharmacy-led primary care clinics were launched across Nova Scotia in 2023 to serve under-resourced areas. Pharmacists at these clinics can prescribe for many chronic conditions, but currently not for diabetic kidney disease. To address this, the research team collaborated with kidney, diabetes, and primary care experts, patient partners and regulatory bodies to develop and validate step-by-step prescribing guide (called algorithms) that support pharmacists in identifying and managing diabetic kidney disease. All medications included are approved, publicly funded in Nova Scotia, target people with earlier categories of diabetic kidney disease and includebuilt-in safety monitoring, nurse practitioner consultation or referral to a kidney doctor. This study will evaluate whether these algorithms improve kidney protective medication use which have shown to be beneficial for people with diabetes and kidney disease. The investigators will recruit 120 adults with type 2 diabetes from a provincial diabetes registry who do not have a primary care provider and screen them at pharmacy clinics for diabetic kidney disease.
