| description | <strong>Foundation:</strong> non-compliance with treatment by diabetic people not only worsens the prognosis, but also their quality of life. <br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to characterize therapeutic adherence in type 2 diabetic patients belonging to four health areas, from two municipalities in Cuba. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in two health areas of the municipalities of Cárdenas and Santiago de Cuba, in the period January - August 2019. The universe was represented by 1091 diabetic people who recovered from a previous study carried out between 2015 and 2016 in the same health areas. They underwent anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin and a questionnaire was applied. Variables were studied: sociodemographic (age, sex, skin color, occupation, level of education, cohabitation), risk factors and comorbidities, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and their relationship with adherence. Categorical variables were presented as frequencies and percentages. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> adherence was 70.7 %, statistically related to white skin color, high level of education, control of glycated hemoglobin according to age and value less than 7 %, as well as not suffering from comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, dyslipidemia, no consumption of alcoholic or sugary beverages. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> the non-availability of medications in the pharmacy, forgetting to take them and at the established times were the main barriers reported by patients, this must be taken into account to have a favorable impact on the control of diabetes mellitus. |
