Diabetes mellitus is a serious, long-term (or "chronic") condition that occurs when an increase in blood glucose levels occurs because the body cannot produce one or enough of the hormone insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. One way that can be done is to be obedient in undergoing insulin therapy to achieve the success of therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the picture of insulin therapy compliance of diabetes mellitus patients in the Outpatient Baiturrahim Hospital based on gender, age, and level of education.
