“…Therefore, inadequate health literacy hinders these practices, leading to irrational diabetes management and early occurrence of diabetic complications such as peripheral neuropathy, renal and ophthalmic complications [36]. High adherence to anti-diabetic medications was suboptimal (34%), which is comparable with the study conducted in Southwest Ethiopia [19], America [38] & [39] Tanzania [26], India [40] and Palestine [22]. In current study patients who have good adherence are more likely to achieve their glycemic control than those with low adherence.…”

“…As per the study done in India, non-adherence rate was taken as 70%, and using the formula 4PQ/D 2 the sample size was calculated as 84 (d-10), however 100 patients were included in the study. 3 The interviewer administered a structured questionnaire to collect data. The questionnaire had three parts which included the demographic profile, Morisky's Instrument to measure the rate of non-adherence and the final part to assess factors and perceptions associated with non-adherence.…”

Background: Adherence to diet and drugs, blood glucose monitoring, foot care, exercise and early recognition of the complications, are the crucial elements for tertiary prevention of Diabetes Mellitus. Non compliance can lead to poor glycemic control which can eventually aggravate complications and lead to disability and mortality. This study aimed at estimating prevalence of non-adherence and identify perceptions and practices associated with non-adherence.Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in a primary care clinic in a disadvantaged community Hundred patients with Diabetes were recruited and interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire.Results: Non adherence rate was 30%. Those who are unable to remember multiple doses (37.5%) were 2.77 (95% CI: 0.94-8.15) times more likely to non-adhere to the treatment than those who are able to remember multiple doses (16.7%).Similarly Patients who often discontinued medications and switched over to alternative system medicines tended to be non- adherent 8.5 (95% CI:1.6- 45.0) times more than those who continued treatment without interruption. Non adherence was not associated with age, gender, education level, and cost of medication and duration of diabetes. People who were illiterate and elderly did not know the consequences of missing doses and stopped medications when they felt better as well as resorted to traditional medicinesConclusions: Counselling sessions should focus on perceptions and ideas about diabetes. Innovative health education modalities have to be developed for illiterate and elderly people.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 106-109

“…Low rates of SMBG of 34% and 19% have been shown in other studies [19,54]. However, higher rates of SMBG (49%) have been reported in other studies [5,55]. Other studies have also reported an increase in SMBG in experimental group compared to control group [56] after mobile phone messaging.…”

There is an increasing prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Kenya. This is despite the implementations of various interventions to prevent and manage the condition. Despite increasing use of mobile phone communication in Kenya, this technology has not been utilized in management of T2DM, though it has been applied in other countries. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of using mobile phone communication on the morbidity and health seeking behavior of T2DM patients. The study was conducted among 138 patients attending the diabetes clinic at Kitui County Referral Hospital. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data on socio economic characteristics, morbidity status and health seeking behavior at the baseline and after mobile phone based intervention. There was a greater decline in morbidity in the experimental group (35.8% to 22.4%) compared to the control group (31% to 29.6%). The difference between groups was significant (OR=0.48; 95% CI= 0.27-0.85), p<0.05). The proportion of respondents with controlled blood pressure (BP) increased in experimental group (44.8% to 49.3%) compared to a reduction in the control group (53.5% to 47.9%). The effect of the intervention was significant (p<0.05). Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) increased from 32.8% to 41.8% in experimental group while it reduced from 39.4% to 31% in control group. The effect of the intervention was statistically significant (p<0.05). This study concludes that use of mobile phone communication led to significant decrease in morbidity prevalence and an increase in the proportion of T2DM patients that carried out self-monitoring of blood glucose in T2DM patients while it did not have a significant effect on glycemic control, diabetes clinic attendance and monitoring of feet health.
