Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate a significantly higher proportion of
medication non-adherence among individuals with diabetes in LMIC
settings when MMAS-8 item scale was used and low when 80-90% cut-off
scales were used. Various factors, such as disease factors,
therapy-related factors, healthcare system factor, patient-centered
factors, and social and economic factors contributed to non-adherence.
Therefore, comprehensive multifaceted strategies are urgently needed to
address factors associated with anti-diabetic medication non-adherence.
