The number of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) more than tripled over the past 4 decades. Education can play a role in the improvement of adherence to medication regimens. Pharmacists could play a vital role in patient education. The study aims to determine the level of DM knowledge among pharmacists in the Basrah metropolitan area. A survey was conducted among hospital pharmacists in different hospitals in the area in the period between January 2019 and April 2019. A total of 50 pharmacists participated in this study. The knowledge test score mean was 16.96 and the standard deviation was 2.996. Ten of the pharmacists (20%) got good scores, 76% of the individuals (n=38) scored in the borderline region and only 2 participants (4%) obtained poor results. Most of the pharmacists had moderate knowledge about DM which warrants the need to apply continued medical and pharmaceutical education
