INS and diabetes mellitus: Similar finding was observed in the study done in Saudi Arabia in which 79% of the patients were non-compliant to insulin regimen.17 A contrasting result was found in a study done in Uganda where only 28.9% patients were non-adherent to diabetes drug treatment due to non-availability of medical care service.18 Although our study populations were also under free consultation and insulin was available free of cost still a large proportion of non-adherence to drug treatment indicates that some of the socio demographic and service related factors are influencing the patient compliance.
