Purpose/Objective:
Non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication is an important cause of
uncontrolled blood glucose that leads to complications of diabetes.
However, there is lack of evidence on the burden of and factors
associated with non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication among
individuals living with diabetes in low-and middle-income countries
(LMICs). Therefore, we carried out a systematic literature review and
meta-analytic synthesis to estimate non-adherence to anti-diabetic
medication reported among adults in LMICs and to explore factors
affecting non-adherence.
