AB  - AIM: To analyse the characteristics, and analyse the impact of pharmacist 
      intervention on quality of life (QOL) outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      (T2DM). METHODS: This six-month analytical cohort study was conducted by 
      assessing the patients' characteristics and their quality of life by distributing 
      a questionnaire, and the 36-Item short form instrument to the patients with T2DM 
      (n = 45) admitted to the Tertiary hospital in Tebing Tinggi. Patients who had 
      mental disorders, HIV-AIDS, liver disease, stage 4 chronic kidney disease, and 
      pregnant women were excluded from the study. The patients' quality of life was 
      measured before and after interventions and analysed using the paired t-test. All 
      analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 
      (SPSS, version 22, Chicago, IL, USA) (p < 0.05 was considered significant). 
      RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 61.96 +/- 6.45 (years). Most (66.7%) of 
      them were females. The mean QOL (in the score) of the patients: before the 
      intervention, 61.07 +/- 15.13; after the intervention, 70.15 +/- 14.23, there was a 
      significant difference between groups with and without interventions, p < 0.001. 
      CONCLUSION: Active contribution of pharmacists in the management of T2DM patients 
      is urgent and important to improve the patients' QOL.
