We included adult patients registered within the Health Service of the Balearic Islands (Spain) starting a new prescription of a non-insulin glucose-lowering drug between January 2016 and December 2018. We calculated non-adherence at 12 months follow-up, defined as medication possession ratio (MPR) ≤ 80%.

Compared with non-adherent, adherent patients presented lower HbA1c levels (mean difference = -0.32%; 95%CI = -0.38%; -0.27%) and were less likely to initiate insulin (aOR = 0.77; 95%CI = 0.63; 0.94). A predictive model explained 22.3% of the variation and presented a satisfactory performance (AUC = 0.721; Brier score = 0.177).
