  "description": "<p>Background: Diabetes is a common long-term health condition and is characterized by too much glucose in the blood. Medication non-adherence comprehends a wide range of behaviors whether they are encountered deliberately or not, leading to either underuse or overuse of medications prescribed. Despite the high prevalence and economic impact of diabetes, there are still a significant number of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients who are non- adherent to their prescribed medications. This can complicate the challenges of improving health in developing countries, and lead to waste and underutilization of already limited resources.<br>\nObjective: To assess the prevalence of non-adherence to anti-diabetic medications and associated factors among adult Type 2 DM patients on follow up at North Wollo zone public hospitals, East Amhara, Ethiopia, 2022.<br>\nMethods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted among 327 adult Type-II Diabetes Mellitus patients who are on follow up at North Wollo zone public Hospitals. data was collected using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire and analyzed using bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Both COR and an AOR with 95 percent confidence interval were used to identify factors significantly associated with Non-adherence to anti diabetic medication. Finally, variables with P-value &lt;0.05 were declared as statistically significant.<br>\nResult: The overall prevalence of Medication non-adherence among the 327 type II DM patients included in the study was 24.5%. living &lt;3 years since diagnosed with DM [AOR (95% CI); 3.37 (1.91,5.95)], rural residence [AOR (95% CI); 2.67 (1.49,4.79)], having comorbidities [AOR (95% CI); 2.99 (1.67,5.34)], and having no formal education [AOR (95% CI); 3.26 (1.49,7.16)] were those factors significantly associated with non-adherence to anti diabetic medications. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of non-adherence towards antidiabetic medications in this study was higher than WHO and Ethiopian MOH acceptable limit. Educational status, duration of diabetes, residence and the presence of comorbidities were significantly associated with non- adherence to antidiabetic medications.</p>",
