Description

Ibtisam Haidar and eight co-authors measure how often diabetes patients in Morocco skip their medicines, in a 2025 study. Missing doses of type 2 diabetes drugs leads to poor blood sugar control and more complications. The study ran in the endocrinology department of a university hospital in Casablanca. Three hundred twenty-nine adult patients took part, and their adherence was scored with a standard eight-item scale.

Just over half of the patients showed low adherence. The team used statistical models to link poor adherence with social, clinical, treatment, and behavior factors. Naming the strongest drivers helps clinics target support where it counts, such as simpler dosing or cost relief. The findings give Moroccan health planners local numbers instead of guesses borrowed from other countries.
