Clinical Trial Summary

Polypharmacy is an alarming health issue that is defined as prescription of multiple medications, of which some are redundant or unnecessary. Due to comorbidities, diabetic patients are often prescribed multiple medications. Over prescribing occurs either due to, prescribing medications that are not indicated, continuation of certain medications beyond the time of indication, or prescribing more than one medication with the same effect. Improving glycaemic control is the cornerstone for the prevention and treatment of the diabetic complications.


Clinical Trial Description

Hypothesis In addition to the side effects and cost of the unnecessary medications, the investigators hypothesis is that poly-pharmacy will adversely affect patients' compliance with the necessary medications.The investigators propose that elimination of unnecessary medications might improve patients' compliance and consequently improve glycemic control diabetic patients. ;
