“…Consistently medication nonadherents also significantly reported in the previous studies (33)(34)(35). The most common reason for nonadherent was taking less medicine, stop taking medicine due to its adverse effects and forgetfulness, which was also consistent with the previous findings (11).…”

“…This study found a significant inverse relationship between high adherence scores and lower assayed values of HbA1C and FBS. Similar findings were also reported in the previous studies (11,32,44). In contrast to these findings, another study reported that medication adherence was not significantly associated with glycemic control status (45).…”

“…Logical applications of antidiabetic treatment and congruous adherent to prescribed medications are the main factors to attain medicinal success (9). The majority of the patients' low adherence to medication with significantly poor diabetic control was due to forgetfulness, busy work schedule, difficulty in adhering medication plan, education about DM, and their negative beliefs about medicine (10)(11)(12). Nonadherence to medication declines the efficacy of the medication leading to poor diabetic control (13) consequently increases the development of diabetic complications.…”

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has been a global epidemic in the new millennium and the majority of all diabetic patients constitute Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Medication adherence to prescribed treatments is a key determinant to achieve therapeutic success reduces diabetic complications. Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the level of medication adherence to Type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized at tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: The study was descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 112 Type 2 diabetic patients were conveniently recruited from tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Results: The mean age of the participants was 57.46 (SD=11.65) years. More than half of the patients (60.7%) were male and majority of them (94.6%) were married. The mean score of diabetic medication adherence was calculated as 26.46 (SD=1.58). Adherence to diabetic medications was significantly associated with age (p=.01), occupation (p=.003), duration of DM (p=.003), oral hypoglycemic agents (p=.02), HbA1c (p=< .01) and Fasting Blood Ssugar (p=< .01). Medication non-adherence significantly found in patients with presence of diabetic retinopathy (p=<.01), microabuminuria (p=.01), dyslipidemia (p=.006), hypertension (p=.01) and other chronic diseases (p=.01). Conclusion: The level of medication adherence among Type 2 diabetic patients was found to be suboptimal. Good adherence has beneficial effects on HbA1c and FBS. For improving adherence particular focus should pay to diabetic patients with different age groups and the presence of comorbidities. Keywords: Medication Adherence; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Oral Hypoglycemic Agents; Comorbidities.

“…Poor medication adherence was also linked to higher HbA1c levels, and poor glycemic control in diabetic patients who participated in an Egyptian study [ 40 ]. Furthermore, glycemic control was found to be significantly affected by medication non-adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in several other studies conducted in Palestine [ 41 ], USA [ 42 ], China [ 43 ], and India [ 44 ]. Therefore, healthcare professionals should pay close attention to this problematic issue and exert efforts to solve it by implementing advanced strategies that aim at improving medication adherence through overcoming barriers to optimal medication adherence, and thus enhancing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, with special attention to those with additional comorbidities.…”

Patients with heart failure (HF) are generally at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and having uncontrolled blood glucose. Furthermore, the prevalence of uncontrolled blood glucose in patients with HF is largely unknown. Identifying the factors associated with poor blood glucose control is a preliminary step in the development of effective intervention programs. The current cross-sectional study was conducted at two major hospitals to explore the factors associated with blood glucose control among patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. In addition to sociodemographic, medical records were used to collect medical information and a validated questionnaire was used to evaluate medication adherence. Regression analysis showed that poor medication adherence (OR = 0.432; 95%CI 0.204–0.912; P<0.05) and increased white blood cells count (OR = 1.12; 95%CI 1.033–1.213; P<0.01) were associated with poor glycemic control. For enhancing blood glucose control among patients with HF and diabetes, future intervention programs should specifically target patients who have high WBC counts and poor medication.

“…Ketidakpatuhan yang tidak baik secara signifikan terkait dengan kontrol glikemik yang buruk (Viviandhari dkk., 2021). Buruknya kepatuhan terapi dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, juga terkait dengan tingkat pengetahuan tentang DM yang rendah, pola diet yang tidak sehat, mitos yang beredar seputar diabetes serta testimoni masyarakat tentang diabetes (Almadhoun & Alagha, 2018) dan diperburuk dengan kondisi pembatasan kegiatan akibat pandemi COVID-19.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic is a threat for diabetic patients as they are prone to be worse once they got infected with the Sars-Cov-2 virus, especially in uncontrolled diabetes patients. Insulin is one of the modalities of diabetes treatment, especially in patients who have not reached the therapeutic target. Initiation of insulin is still often hampered due to lack of good education to patients. Providing face-to-face education during the Covid-19 pandemic poses a greater risk of virus transmission, therefore insulin initiation education needs to be carried out with effective communication methods. This study aims to implement interpersonal education in initiating insulin in type 2 diabetes patients using technology such as videos and educational booklets at the Hospital Dr. Zainoel Abidin, Banda Aceh. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a pre and post-test approach. The sample collection technique was total sampling, namely all diabetic patients who received insulin initiation in July - October 2021. There were 38 respondents divided into 17 respondents for the control group and 21 respondents for the intervention group. Questionnaire data was collected before and before the intervention. Knowledge data is presented descriptively, data and quality of life before and before intervention were analyzed by t-test. The results showed that the knowledge of the respondents before and before education was good, there was no difference in knowledge before and before the intervention, both in the oral group, and in the video group. After the intervention, the mean quality of life scores improved significantly in both the oral and media groups. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between face-to-face education (oral) and education using media (videos and booklets). The effect of education orally or through the media on the knowledge and quality of life of diabetic patients is the same.
