[Can patient compliance be improved?].
The analysis of the different factors leading to non-observance (linked to the patient and his (her) environment, to the disease and its symptoms, to the care system) permits to propose different approaches aimed to improve therapeutic observance. Tackling this major challenge will help to improve the efficiency of diabetes care, since diabetes represents a disease particularly prone to non-observance, the frequency and the paramount importance of which is now recognised as a major issue.
