Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Adherence to treatment is a key determinant to proper management. This study aimed to assess the factors associated treatment adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: We conducted this cross-sectional study on 704 patients with type 2 diabetes referred to three diabetes clinics in Kerman, Iran. We used treatment adherence questionnaire and functional communicative critical health literacy (FCCHL) to collect data and descriptive statistics, as well as Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis to analyze data. Significance level was <0.05. Results: The study results showed that health literacy, HbA1c, and income were main predictors of diabetes treatment adherence. The patients' adherence increased as their health literacy increased. The patients' HbA1c decreases as their adherence increased. We found a 2.54-point increase in the treatment adherence score for those with sufficient income and a 0.76-point increase in the treatment adherence score for those with relatively sufficient income compared with those with insufficient income. Conclusion: We found several factors affecting diabetes treatment adherence. Planning theory-based interventions can be helpful to improve the determinants
