Antidiabetic medication is one of the pharmacological approach being prescribed to the diabetes patients for optimizing the blood glucose level.

A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 427 randomly selected diabetes patients who had attended two public hospitals implementing Total Hospital Information System (THIS) in Malaysia. Data collection was performed using validated Medication Compliance Questionnaire (MCQ). Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between patients’ profile and medication adherence. The confidence interval was set at 95% CI with p value of 0.05. Overall, a response rate for this study was 93.4%. The adherence rate of the diabetes patients was 53.4% with the Indian and Chinese ethnics were more likely to adhere towards their medication prescription with p=0.017 and p=0.046 respectively.
