Taking medicines can be a challenge for those with diabetes mellitus (DM) with adherence rates to DM medicines as low as 31%. Adherence to DM medicines improves DM by reducing blood glucose (ie A1c reduction) but will also result in improved outcomes, reduced cardiovascular risks, and reduced costs of diabetes. The most common factors reported to affect medication taking in those with DM include difficulty remembering refills and doses, regimen complexity (e.g more than one DM drug, need to split tablets, mix products), dosing frequency greater than twice daily, depression, and adverse effects or fear of them.
