Overall, more than half of T2DM patients had good medication adherence. Medication type, access to anti-diabetic medication, having own glucometer at home, diabetes-related knowledge were independent predictors of medication adherence. T2DM patients should have own glucometer at home and health promotion should provide about diabetic Mellitus for T2DM patients.
