  Objective: Examines the effects of counseling and short messages service (SMS) as a reminder and motivation toward medication adherence improvement and controlled HbA1c levels of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental method with prospective data retrieval. The subjects of this study were 40 patients with outpatient T2DM in internal disease polyclinic in West Nusa Tenggara Hospital, Indonesia. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: The control group (n=20) receiving only the drug care service and the treatment group (n=20) receiving counseling and SMS reminder and motivation from the pharmacist. Data collecting was conducted using the pill count method, and HbA1c levels were taken from the medical record.Results: The results showed that counseling and SMS as reminder and motivation by a pharmacist can improve treatment adherence significantly (p<0.05) by 11.33 ± 8.47 and can decrease HbA1c level significantly (p<0.05) of 1.32 ± 0.72 in the intervention group. There was a positive correlation between T2DM patient treatment adherence to HbA1c levels (r=0.254, p=0.023).Conclusion: The provision of counseling and SMS as a reminder and motivation by the pharmacist can have a positive effect toward medication adherence and control of HbA1c in T2DM patients.

<P>Objectives: The study aimed to explore the predictors affecting patient satisfaction to glucose monitoring system (GMSS) and drug attitude inventory (DAI) / treatment adherence among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study design was used to conduct this study. Subjective assessments were made by questionnaires and objective data was collected from the patients' medication profiles registered to diabetic clinics. Patients were recruited from five different public hospitals of Hyderabad region, India. A total of 430 patients completed for analysis. The predictors to GMSS dimensions and adherence status were analyzed with Wilks's lambda effect and multivariate generalized linear model (GLM/MANOVA). Results: Study population consisted of 64.4% males and 35.6% females, age mean ± SD (43.3±11.42) years, majority of the study of participants were in between 40-60 years of age (53.3%). Majority of participants were considered healthy on BMI scale (67.2%), in contrast 234 (54.4%) reported high glycemic index with Hb1Ac (> 7.5%). Descriptive distribution pattern showed 241 (56.1%) participants were moderately satisfied with the current monitoring system. However, 157 (36.5%) reported poor satisfaction to GMSS scale score. Findings showed that low mean score of openness and worthwhileness are reported among nonadherent participants. Behavioral burden significantly high among nonadherent patients then adherents. However, emotional burden showed no effect on treatment adherence. Conclusion: This study found high rates of poor glucose monitoring system satisfaction along with low-to-poor treatment adherence among T2DM patients. Individual characteristics and clinical parameters significantly and positively predict the variance of GMSS and DAI among patients' with T2DM.</P>

Abstract. Background: Treatment adherence is associated with a number of personal characteristics (e.g., self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control) and illness perceptions. However, there is a lack of studies for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Aims: The aim of this study was to compare adherence behavior of British and Greek people with T2DM and examine the association between personal characteristics, illness perceptions, and adherence. Method: This was a cross-cultural, cross-sectional study. Five hundred eighty participants completed questionnaires, 208 males (35.9%) and 372 females (64.1%) with a mean age of 49 years. Regression analyses and t-tests were used. Results: Personal characteristics and illness perceptions predicted adherence and British patients reported better exercise adherence while Greek patients reported better diet and medication adherence; both groups reported suboptimal adherence. Self-efficacy, Health Locus of Control (HLoC), and illness perceptions were the main adherence determinants. Limitations: The use of self-reports and the convenience sampling method are the main limitations of this study. Conclusion: The findings address a significant gap in research and can inform future adherence-enhancing interventions to promote the well-being of people with T2DM.

Background: The prevalence of depression is high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several studies showed that suitable health behavior and treatment adherance could be factors asociated with low prevalence of depression among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives: 1. To investigate the prevalence of depressive disorder using ICD10 clinical criteria among patients with T2DM. 2. To analyze the association between depressive disorder with health behavior, treatment adherence and commorbidities in the participants. Subjects and methods: This is a descriptive cross - sectional study on 210 inpatients with T2DM at the Department of General Internal Medicine, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and at the Department of Endocrinology - Neurology, Hue Central Hospital. PHQ - 9 with the cutoff of 10 was used to screen depressed patients among participants, then psychiatrists used clinical criteria of ICD 10 to diagnose depression definitively. Patients who were diagnosed with depression according to clinical criteria were analyzed the association between depression with health behavior, treatment adherence and comorbidities by using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of depressive disorder among patients with T2DM assessed by clinical criteria of ICD 10 was 31.4% in which severe (7.6%), moderate (19.5%) and mild depression (4.3%). Health behavior associated with depression in patients with T2DM are light or moderate activities such as practising yoga, walking, riding bicycle ... that help reduce the rate of depression, while working hard or playing heavy sports increases the rate of depression. In addition, patients with 2 or more complications, hypertension and kidney diseases increased the risk of depression in univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis of risk factors for depression were infectious diseases. Conclusion: Depression is found at a high rate among patients with T2DM. Light or moderate physical activity reduces the prevalence of depression. The complications and associated infectious disease are risk factors for depression. .
