Diabetes Mellitus has been linked to poorer bone health, leading to a higher risk of
fractures in people living with diabetes. DM affects bone health in various ways. To
prevent and manage bone problems in patients, some strategies need to be
adopted, such as strict glycemic control, a diet with adequate intake of calcium and
vitamin D, and physical exercises with an emphasis on strengthening activities. The
educational approach values popular experiences and promotes the individual's
autonomy in self-care. The aim of this study was to develop an educational booklet
with the purpose of generating knowledge for the individual, using a
descriptive-exploratory methodology to develop a lightweight health technology. The
material was produced using easily understandable language and objective images.
