Introduction Effective management of diabetes and hypertension requires a comprehensive approach, including dietary adjustments, physical activity, routine screening for complications, and adherence to medication. Proper adherence to pharmacotherapy is essential for maintaining glycemic control and managing blood pressure. Non-adherence can result in increased complications, higher healthcare costs, and greater morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic profile and medication adherence among adults with diabetes and hypertension, focusing on those undergoing treatment. The objective was to determine the extent of adherence and identify factors that influence adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Methods A community-based study was conducted on patients with T2DM and/or hypertension in both rural and urban areas of Bhopal, specifically those attending JK Hospital, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Participants were selected using a simple random sampling method. Medication adherence was assessed using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), a validated tool for measuring patient adherence behavior. Results The study included 300participants, of whom 68% (n=204) were maleand 32% (n=96) were female. The average age of the participants was 57.52±10.3 years. Among the 300patients, 9% (n=27) had high adherence to medication, 24.7% (n=74) had moderate adherence, and 66.3% (n=199) had low adherence. Conclusions Effective strategies must include targeted patient education on medication costs, side effects, and the long-term benefits of adherence. Integrating technological aids like smartphone apps may enhance adherence. Patients who adhere closely to their regimens are more likely to achieve better control over blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, underscoring the critical importance of adherence in managing chronic conditions effectively.
