Survey analytics, not medical advice. Small self-reported sample (n=50, 70% female, 88% urban). High complication and hospitalization rates below reflect this sample only. If you have vision changes, foot ulcers, or glucose emergencies, consult a clinician promptly.

Headline findings (verified counts)
1. Adherence gap: Good 25 (50%), Moderate 20 (40%), Poor 5 (10%). Yet 23/50 (46%) stopped medication without consulting; diet Always only 14 (28%), exercise Always only 9 (18%). Top miss reason: forgetfulness 17 (34%), then feeling-better 10, lack of availability 9, side effects 8.
2. Complication burden is high: 32/50 (64%) report a complication. Symptoms: vision changes 29 (58%), neuropathy 28 (56%), glucose emergency 26 (52%), current foot ulcer 14 (28%), kidney 9 (18%). Hospitalized 23 (46%). Specific diagnoses: retinopathy 10, hyperglycemia 10, hypoglycemia 9, neuropathy 7, nephropathy 4, foot ulcers 3.
3. Care pattern: 20/50 (40%) visit only when symptomatic; monthly 16, every 3 months 11. Glucose Always monitored 25 (50%); HbA1c checked 30 (60%); BP checked 27 (54%). Education received 38 (76%); belief plan works 43 (86%) - clear knowledge-behavior gap.
4. Who is at risk: Of 32 with complications: 13 Good / 16 Moderate / 3 Poor. Of 18 without: 12 Good / 4 Moderate / 2 Poor. Moderate compliance concentrates with complications. Education Yes/No have identical Good rates (50%), so education alone is not shifting compliance in this sample. Small-n: treat as signals, not proof.
