For this reason, the individual management of the diabetic patient is important in terms of ensuring effective participation and compliance in treatment and care. Patients must have knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in order to successfully comply with diabetes treatment. Patients are in compliance with diabetes treatment; they encounter some barriers such as medication barriers, barriers to self-monitoring, knowledge and belief barriers, barriers to diagnosis, barriers in relations with health professionals, barriers to lifestyle change, barriers to coping with diabetes, and barriers to getting advice and support.
