Non-adherence behaviours were prevalent and significantly associated with higher HbA1c. Medication non-adherence was more likely in younger individuals, those with higher diabetes distress or peripheral neuropathy. Appointment non-adherence was more likely in individuals of Indian ethnicity or those with higher education. Greater support for these groups may help improve adherence behaviours and outcomes.
