Opportunities and challenges around non-adherence and self-management in diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition which requires active management from the patient to both medication and lifestyle change. With rates of diabetes on the increase around the world, it is a growing public health issue, especially as non-adherence to positive interventions is common in terms of medication, lifestyle change, monitoring and checks - all with subsequent short and long-term negative health impacts. Diabetes is also expensive. It is estimated to cost the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) £10 billion per year, or 10% of its entire budget.
