Medication adherence was indentified according to Morisky questionare. Results: The average age of subjects was 73±8.3, the average duration of disease  was 9.8 ± 5.9 years. The percentage of elderly patients with good adherence and adherence was 77.2%, of which the rate of good adherence was 32.7%, and adherence was 44.5%, poor medication adherence or non- adherence accounts for 22.8%. Forgetting to take a prescribed drug accounted for 48.5%, forgetting to bring medications along when traveling or leaving home accounted for 31.5%. Conclusion: Poor medication adherence or non- adherence among elderly diabetes patients accounted for 22.8%, of which the majority was due to forgetting to take a prescribed drug.
