A Tukey post hoc test revealed that adherence of diabetic patient with no depression (97.43± 14.69) had statistically significant different than diabetic patient with mild depression (77.85± 21.76, p = .002) and moderate depress diabetic patient (80.43±28.20, p = .027). There was no statistically significant difference between diabetic patient without depression and with severe depression (90.27± 21.38, p = .922).
