 The management of type 2 diabetes T2D is experienced by many patients as being very complex. This is especially true when diabetes management includes multiple medical interventions such as oral agents and injectable medication insulin, GLP-1; DPP-4s in combination with diabetes specific behaviours such as blood glucose monitoring and foot care as well as healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity and healthy eating. Studies show that 40-50 of patients with T2D have suboptimal adherence to self-management recommendations. In general, it is estimated that about half of patients with chronic diseases do not take their medications as prescribed. Suboptimal medical adherence drives poor glycemic control as well as poor quality of life for an individual patient not to mention increased health care costs due to comorbidities, reduced work function and hospital admissions.
