Many co-morbidities are associated with the diagnosis of type 2 DM such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Research has proven that it has been difficulty in determining patients who have non-purposeful adherence in taking multiple medications which leads to deficient management of disease (Cheng, Chi-Chen, and Chin-Sia, 2013. Also, research has shown that medication adherence is not something that can be forced upon a patient, because patients can continually be resistant to methods (Cheng, et. al, 2013). Although, a patient cannot be forced to adhere to their medication regimen, healthcare professionals can make sure that the patients make an educated decision. If healthcare providers assist patients with making an accurate decision when making decisions related to their healthcare and comply with their medication, management of DM will be better. The manner in which this assists is that it provides more information on this topic and improves education techniques that can be more comprehendible.
