Why do people suffering from Type I diabetes show low adherence to self-management programs and their treatment regimen?
What will be an ideal response?
Many type I diabetic patients do not adhere to self-management programs and treatment regimens. Because many of the severe complications of diabetes are not evident until 15-20 years after its onset, these risks do not frighten people into being adherent. They may feel no symptoms, and so fail to adhere to their treatment regimen. Many of the errors made by diabetics in adhering to their treatment regimen, then, are errors of omission rather than commission. Diabetic patients often fail to self-monitor their blood glucose level. Instead, like hypertensive patients, they rely on what their blood glucose level "feels like," and they rely strongly on their mood for making this judgment.
