Summary
This study aimed to see if a new urine test can accurately tell whether people with type 2 diabetes are taking their medications as prescribed. Researchers planned to compare the urine test results with standard methods like questionnaires and pharmacy records in 90 participants. The goal was to improve how doctors identify non-adherence, which is a common reason for treatment failure in diabetes.
