Adjusted Probability of Adherence to Self-management*
| Treatment Regimen | Proportion Always Adherent, % | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burden=0 | Burden=3 | Burden=6 | P Value† | |
| Diet | 8.2 | 3.5 | 1.5 | <.001 |
| Self-monitoring of blood glucose | ||||
| Three times/day | 53.2 | 38.2 | 22.5 | .020 |
| Once/day | 58.5 | 34.6 | 19.0 | <.001 |
| Periodic | 37.6 | 19.7 | 8.7 | .001 |
| Oral agents | 82.4 | 74.4 | 67.1 | .006 |
| Insulin | 85.3 | 79.0 | 76.1 | .023 |
Probabilities are based on multivariate analyses that adjusted for demographics, diabetes education, and primary diabetes provider (specialist vs generalist)
