AB  - AIMS: This study presents a protocol for the Pharmacy Integrated Community Care 
      (PICC) program, meticulously designed to enhance Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels 
      and augment knowledge about diabetes mellitus (DM) among individuals diagnosed 
      with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the Sarawak State of Malaysia. METHODS: 
      From 1 May to December 31, 2023, a prospective, multicenter, parallel-design 
      randomised controlled trial will be conducted with two groups, each consisting of 
      47 participants. The intervention group will receive a structured, four-session 
      group-based program guided by experienced pharmacists, focusing on medication 
      adherence and diabetes management. The control group will follow the standard 
      Diabetes Mellitus Adherence Clinic program. The primary outcomes of this study 
      encompass enhancements in knowledge regarding diabetes medication management and 
      adherence, followed by subsequent changes in HbA1c levels. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      successful implementation of the PICC program holds promise for enhancing health 
      outcomes in the T2DM population, potentially leading to more effective diabetes 
      management initiatives and better health practices in the community. TRIAL
