A cross-sectional study was conducted in an outpatient department at (HTAA) with convenience sample of 220 DM patients. A self-administered questionnaire comprising of 27 items was administered to the participants. Majority of the participants were between the age of 51 and 70 years old.

Study findings revealed that 64.5% obtained high level of knowledge with good practice towards medication adherence. The socio-demographic characteristics were associated with high knowledge (p-value; age=0.039, gender= 0.047, educational level=0.000 & duration of diabetes=0.000) and good practice (p-value; age=0.023, gender= 0.047, educational level=0.000 & duration of diabetes=0.027) towards medication adherence.
