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.
