ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetes is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite polypharmacy patients have uncontrolled blood glucose. Some oral hypoglycemic agents can themselves increase the risk of hypoglycemia and cardiovascular dysfunction. The additional risk factor contributing to cardiovascular dysfunction in the diabetic population is improper medication adherence. Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the association between diabetic treatment regimen, glycemic control, and medication adherence in type 2 diabetics admitted in the coronary care unit with acute events. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on patients hospitalized in a tertiary care hospital from February 2019 to July 2019. Data on 155 patients with acute cardiac events along with diabetes were collected. Data on previous OHA?S, hypoglycemic events, medication adherence, and the necessary clinical and laboratory values were collected from the respective case sheets. Chi-square test and p-value were calculated. Results: Among all the patients in study, it was observed that only 14.19% patients had adequate glycemic control (HbA1C
