The study aims to explore medication intake and perceived barriers among Dutch adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Involving 3,383 participants, researchers used the ASK-12 questionnaire to assess adherence and analyzed factors influencing medication intake through regression analyses.
Results indicated that type 1 diabetes patients had better medication adherence compared to those with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, with both groups showing strong links between poor medication intake and increased depressive symptoms and diabetes-related distress.
