Introduction: the interruption in the adherence to the prescribed treatments generates important obstacles which negatively impact on health indicators.
Objectives: to evaluate adherence to treatment in adult patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) in Argentina; associate with the type of health care provision and location.
Materials and methods: we included 1.520 individuals belonging to eight different geographical regions of the Argentine Republic during 2015. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A self-reported validated questionnaire of multiple options with simple scoring polycotomic responses was applied. A quantitative scale and a multivariate analysis of main components were applied.
Results: the average age was 60.2 years and the seniority of the referred DT2 corresponded to 10.1 years. The average HbA1c was 7.85%. The average general adherence for all characteristics was 4.32 (61.71%). The adherence results found are similar to other developing countries except for the care of the feet. The care factor of the feet in our country report scales of greater adherence. Redundant results are observed, such as greater adherence to monitoring in insulin therapy and less for diet and exercise and only oral antidiabetic drugs (ADO), as well as greater medication adherence in insulin and insulin therapies more ADO.
Conclusions: the low scales referred to the group with only diet and exercise are alarming.
