ProjectsEVALUATION OF MEDICATION ADHERENCE AND GLYCEMIC CONTROL IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE II ON ORAL HYPOGLYCEMIC THERAPY
Role - Investigator

Oct 1, 2024 - Mar 1, 2025
The study on medication adherence and glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) on oral hypoglycemic therapy highlights a significant correlation between poor adherence and worsening clinical outcomes. The findings reveal that a substantial proportion of patients exhibit low adherence to prescribed antidiabetic regimens, leading to uncontrolled blood glucose levels and an increased risk of complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, cardiovascular diseases, and neuropathic complications.
Factors contributing to poor adherence include lack of patient awareness, complex medication regimens, side effects, financial constraints, and inadequate follow-up care. The analysis of hospital stay patterns further suggests that patients with low adherence often require extended hospitalization, emphasizing the burden on healthcare systems.
To address this issue, several evidence-based solutions can be implemented. Firstly, patient education programs should be reinforced, focusing on the importance of medication adherence, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes. Secondly, simplifying treatment regimens by using combination therapies and once-daily dosing can improve compliance. Thirdly, pharmacist-led counseling and adherence monitoring through mobile applications and reminder systems can enhance patient engagement.
