(WikiDoc) - One third of diabetics never fill their doctor's prescription for antidiabetic meds, according to a study in this month's Journal of General Internal Medicine. The researchers looked at 1,132 adult patients treated at Geisinger Clinic in Danville, PA. They were all members of its health plan and were prescribed antihyperglycemic medication. The study's authors then matched their patients' electronic health records to insurance claims to see who followed their doctors' advice. (Journal of General Internal Medicine)
