Patients were categorized into two groups of different subjects, who received of medication reminder chart tools were 40 patients (Code A) and the other 40 patients were assigned to control group (Code B). Morisky Medication Adherence Scale of 8-item (MMAS-8) was used to measure adherence. Clinical outcome were measured based on FBG decrease (mg/dl). Two independent sample t-test was using to determine the mean differences of the average score of the adherence level before and after using the medication reminder chart.
