Opis

The control of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) depends largely on the sick individuals themselves, in particular their knowledge, attitudes, self-care practices, in order to promote their short and long term well-being. These components can be strengthened primarily through diabetes education. To determine and implement the most effective educational strategies, it is necessary to estimate the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of self-care regarding DM2 in each demographic. Therefore, it is essential to promote knowledge - favorable attitudes and practices regarding the disease, its treatment, complications and the personal image of the patient as a sick individual, through activities aimed at providing motivation and empowerment to these individuals in order to achieve the necessary measures to achieve good metabolic control and avoid subsequent dependence.
