Prevalence of medication adherence and glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes and influencing factors: A cross-sectional study

The proportion of patients who were medication nonadherent was much higher than those with poor glycemic control. Whereas regular exercise was a predictor of nonadherence, age, sex, diabetes medication, not taking biguanide, acute complications, and comorbidity were predictors of poor glycemic control. Therefore, strategies are needed to improve medication adherence and glycemic control.
