FROM RESISTANCE TO RESILIENCE: MIIDEA'S IMPACT ON DIABETES MANAGEMENT"

Abstract

In the United States, a significant portion of the population, around 24%, is on a daily regimen of three or more medications, a number that tends to be even higher among individuals grappling with chronic conditions like diabetes. The adherence to medication regimens shows an inverse correlation with the frequency of daily doses. While there isn't a fixed average for the number of medications prescribed to individuals with diabetes, the typical regimen includes multiple drugs, often requiring multiple daily administrations.

In 2020, data from the National Diabetes Statistics Report revealed that there were roughly 34.1 million American adults living with diabetes. A survey spanning from 2007 to 2010 indicated that 88% of individuals aged 20 years and older with diagnosed diabetes were actively managing their condition through insulin and/or oral medications.

This abstract highlights the widespread nature of medication use and the significance of adherence, especially in the context of diabetes management.
