Improving Adherence in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Scientific Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: Background: Oral medication for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus plays an important role in diabetes care and is associated with high levels of self-care and self-management behavior. Barriers to adherence can include complex treatment regimens, often associated with multiple long-term therapies, side effects from medications, and inadequate, incomprehensible, or confusing information or instructions from the healthcare provider. Multidisciplinary approaches can support successful adherence and enable more effective management of diabetes care. One The aim was to analyze the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions to improve adherence to therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Two studies investigating primarily educational interventions showed a significant improvement in therapy adherence. In addition, the quality of the included studies was poor. Conclusion: Although pharmaceutical interventions could potentially improve medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus, high-quality studies are needed to assess their effectiveness Keywords: Oral medication, type 2 diabetes, long-term therapies, side effects, healthcare provider.
