AB  - BACKGROUND: Adherence to pharmacological treatment (APT) is crucial for patients 
      with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to achieve metabolic control and decrease 
      complications. AIM: To establish the proportion of APT in patients with T2DM, the 
      influence of the same on blood glucose, and the factors involved in a lack of 
      ATP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Diabetic patients were interrogated about 
      sociodemographic factors, the evolution of the disease, their fasting blood 
      glucose levels, and the use of other treatments. APT was evaluated with the 
      Morisky-Green questionnaire, patient beliefs about treatments with the Beliefs 
      about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ), and patient knowledge about T2DM with the 
      standard questionnaire. RESULTS: A representative sample of 400 individuals of 
      both sexes was studied, finding a lack of APT in 74.5% of patients. The latter 
      patients showed a significantly greater level of blood glucose while being more 
      preoccupied and less informed about the disease. A lack of APT was associated 
      with the refusal to undergo the blood glucose test among men (Odds ratio 
      (OR)=3.70; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.58-8.66) and with the consumption of 
      medicinal plants among women (OR=2.53; IC 95%, 1.23-5.23). CONCLUSIONS: A lack of 
      APT in patients with T2DM is a serious problem and associated with a lack of 
      knowledge about the disease. It is urgent to strengthen the educational programs 
      in relation to T2DM to promote adherence to treatment.
