Non-adherence to diabetes treatment at Mulago Hospital in Uganda: prevalence and associated factors.

Abstract

Adherence to diabetic treatment was suboptimal. There is need to improve it through strategies helping patients understand their drug regimens, always availing drugs in the hospital so that they do not have to buy them and giving shorter time between visits to health worker. Further studies should be done to find out why females were not adhering to treatment so as to improve their adherence.
