N2  - ABSTRACT: Introduction: Along with the consumption of maintenance medication, dietary adherence serves as a vital component in the overall regimen of an individual in terms of managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). this study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary regimen adherence and health-related variables among diabetic FEU-NRMF employees on maintenance medication.  Methods. A cross-section design was utilized to assess the level of dietary adherence to the maintenance medication where 13 respondents participated from the institute of medicine (IM), and 21 respondents participated from the medical center. Moreover, the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire in the study was adopted to measure the degree of adherence to dietary recommendation in a year-or-no response format. In addition, it has shown that results from the health-related characteristics did not exhibit significant statistical results from the health-related characteristics did not exhibit significant statistical results with a p-value>0.05.  Results: The majority of the diabetic employees were males aged between 41 to 50 years old, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past 5 years, had at least one comorbidity, were overweight, and received nutritional education of diabetes, with all of them adherent to the regimen. The study found no significant relationship between adherence to dietary regimen and health-related characteristics of the diabetic employees.  Conclusion: Achieving effective management of type 2 diabetes necessitates strict adherence to dietary regimens, regardless of individuals age, gender, comorbidities, BMI, or nutritional education. To optimize the efficacy of dietary interventions, future studies should aim to identify additional factors that could affect an individual's adherence to their dietary regimen. Such knowledge can facilitate the development of personalized and effective strategies to support individuals in managing their diabetes through dietary modifications.
