“…The results of this study show a negative association between the use of CAM and adherence to medical treatment. This finding is similar to that obtained by Alfian et al where they demonstrated that the use of CAM decreases adherence to medical treatment in patients with T2D [11]. The uncontrolled disease reported in the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey was 68.2%, which differs from what was found in this research with 53.4%; however, these reflect the failures in the management and control of the disease, as well as the need to improve and renew existing strategies to ensure that patients with this condition receive full benefit with the approach provided [12][13].…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus 2 (T2D) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in northern Mexico. Various treatments are used to control the disease; however, the cost of these and the difficulty of dietary management have as a consequence that the patient abandons them and looks for cheaper and easier-to-use alternatives. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the use of alternative medicine and adherence to medical treatment in patients with T2D. Design and Setting: Analytic cross-sectional study. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was designed between March and July 2019 including 464 patients with T2D from the family medicine unit #48 Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. We used the Morisky-Green scale for adherence to treatment and the use of Alternative Medicine (CAM) was evaluated with a holistic complementary and alternative medicine questionnaire. The Chi-Square test was used for comparison of proportions and risk factors were calculated using odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Results: 53% of patients use CAM; biological therapy (herbs and supplements) is the most frequent (94%). The association between CAM use and adherence to medical treatment was 2.1 (95% CI 1.4-3.1, p= 0.001). The risk factors for the use of CAM were female sex, basic level education, uncontrolled disease and a time of evolution greater than 10 years. Conclusion: CAM users are 2.1 times more at risk of having a regular or bad adherence to medical treatment.

It has been widely acknowledged that non-adherence to medication among people with type 2 diabetes is a significant problem worldwide. Studies have suggested that nonadherence to medication may be caused by the complexity of issues surrounding medication use which further created burdens related to medication. However, studies on this topic in the Indonesian context were still limited. This study aimed to understand the experiences of people with type 2 diabetes in medication-taking and explore any practical issues that potentially affect their behavior when taking medication. Methods: Qualitative phenomenological study with semi-structured interviews was applied. The participants were purposefully recruited and selected from some primary healthcare facilities in Yogyakarta Province. The eligibility criteria included: diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by healthcare professionals for at least six months and were able to comprehend information. Information about the study was explained, and written informed consent was collected. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed with a deductive qualitative content analysis method.Results: Fifty-one people with type 2 diabetes were involved in this study. Most of the participants were between 40 and 59 years old, and many of them were female and housewives. The thematic analysis found some practical issues that affected people's behavior in taking type 2 diabetes medication. These included individual's mealtime, characteristics of the medications, accessibility of healthcare services, experiences of side effects and social activities. Conclusion:The practical issues identified in this study can be resolved by improving the role of healthcare providers in managing people with diabetes. Future research needs to be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions developed based on understanding of the practical factors identified.

“…According to statistics, about 463 million people worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes in 2019, with most of whom having had type 2 diabetes (approximately 90%) [3]. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a chronic disease whose control requires regular use of hypoglycemic drugs, physical activity, and a healthy diet [4]. However, proper glucose control is di cult for many people suffering from diabetes because it requires changes to the behavior and the lifestyle [4,5].…”

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a global problem, and most of people suffering from it are faced with problems caused by it. The use of medicinal plants is increasing among type 2 diabetic patients. Reasons and factors leading to the use of these plants have not yet been fully known. Thus, the present study aims to identify experiences of patients who use medicinal plants to discover factors determining the use of them.The present qualitative study was conducted using a content analysis approach.Methods: This qualitative study was conducted from April 2020 to May 2020 in Yazd City located in Central Iran. The data were collected by conducting in-depth unstructured interviews with 16 type 2 diabetic patients. Convenience sampling was used for selecting participants. In addition, data collection and analysis were conducted simultaneously. To extract categories and themes, the thematic analysis method was employed using MAXQDA 10. The COREQ (consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research) checklist was employed to ensure the method of conducting the study.Results: Data analysis showed that factors determining the use of medicinal plants fell into six categories. These categories included beliefs about medicinal plants, psychological factors, accessibility and economic barriers, patients' knowledge and awareness, pressure imposed by the society, and the role of family culture.Conclusion: It is essential to promote patients’ information and skills of the proper use of medicinal plants. For this purpose, it is recommended to provide proper counselling and referrals to specialists. Moreover, strengthening pharmaceutical infrastructures of drug storage and distribution in deprived areas could play a significant role in facilitating patient access to common drugs and preventing the use of medicinal plants.
