Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a prevalent chronic disease that can lead to serious complications if not properly managed. One of the key factors in diabetes management is patient adherence to medication.
Purpose: To analyze the relationship between medication adherence and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Method: A analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 146 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test.
Results: A total of 61.0% of respondents demonstrated high medication adherence, and 48.6% had low blood glucose levels. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between medication adherence and blood glucose levels.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between medication adherence and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
