It is necessary to perform a systematic review to determine the effects of HIT on promoting medication adherence among patient with Diabetes mellitus type 2, which involves an intense critical analysis based on scientific evidence It is consensual the need of doing more research in this field. It is imperative that nurses are acquainted with the best available evidence to fight this worldwide problem
