Diabetes Mellitus is a complex chronic condition characterized by hyperglycemia and metabolic dysregulations. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2), the most common type of diabetes, is marked by the progressive and irreversible loss of insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells, associated with resistance to insulin action in peripheral tissues, resulting in a higher incidence and late diagnosis. Treatment requires a multifaceted approach, especially in older people, who face additional challenges due to aging. This includes lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise and medication administration, as well as the need for health education to promote treatment adherence and self-care. The DM2 approach demands a holistic view of the patient, considering the particularities of aging. Given the above, the study aims to develop an educational booklet for elderly people living with DM2, aiming to provide easyto-understand information, self-care guidelines and information records. The study is characterized as qualitative and descriptive, divided into two stages: the review of publications from the last five years (2018-2023) on the subject in the VHL, Scielo, Periódicos Capes and Pubmed databases and the development of an assistive technology in the format of primer. 725 results related to the theme proposed during the search were identified. Of these, 111 studies were selected to support the study in question. Among these, 17 studies were highlighted as main results and guided the discussion of the topics. Subsequently, the booklet was created, covering everything from the presentation of what type 2 diabetes is, to the self-care process and recommendations for elderly people. It is concluded, based on the conduct of this study, that the process of health education for the elderly population is essential. Consequently, it aims to strengthen self-care practices, increase adherence to medication therapy, promote lifestyle changes and raise awareness about the importance of preventing complications in elderly people living with DM2. Such measures aim to improve the overall quality of life of these individuals.

A escrita de si na docência de matemática: inquietações éticas da figura do professor em formação
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-04-22) CASTILLO, Ana Del Valle Duarte; BRITO, Maria dos Remédios de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6896268801860211; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0478-5285
Ethics, assumed as a form of relationship with ourselves and with others, has not been the focus of attention of Mathematics Educators, this is shown in the few researches on this theme. The vast majority of research in this field of study presents mathematical knowledge as something that the student appropriates individually, and knowledge is conceived as a commodity that teachers sell to students. Furthermore, reflections on the teaching and learning of mathematics have, in general, been directed, in most cases, to the search for mechanisms that facilitate the learning of this subject. The first reflections on the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, where our field of study emerges, are situated around the curriculum that the school needs to respond to the increasingly urgent needs of societies embarking on the path of industrialization. Therefore, educational trends are characterized by showing interest in the development of learning processes of mathematical concepts and do not take into account the formation of ethical values. School knowledge, and the structures of educational institutions, are utilitarian and individualistic. On the other hand, we have reductionist truths that present school mathematics through curricula aimed at developing techniques, impersonal learning, teaching based on books and sometimes on false assumptions. An ethical dimension in the teaching of mathematics is essential to effect a better relationship between student and teacher and to clarify some choices that the teacher makes when teaching mathematics, such as, for example, studying contexts related to the price of the kilowatt in the periphery of the main cities. The thesis that is argued is that ethics in teaching mathematics teachers in training allows an opening for self-care, care for educational practices (student, teacher, educational space). The teaching of mathematics becomes sensitive to the other, to the world. The teaching of mathematics becomes sensitive to the other, to the world. The objective of this research is to present ethics in the teaching of the teacher-in-training who will teach mathematics through the practice of 'writing oneself', with regard to 'caring for oneself' and caring for the other. The study theoretically dialogues with Michel Foucault (2005, 2006, 2007, 2010), without necessarily remaining in it, but opening up to thought. Thus, the thesis will dialogue with authors in the field of mathematics and education, in general. In a practical way, philosophical exercises of self-writing were carried out in the classroom, made with continuing education teachers belonging to the course of the Integrated Degree in Sciences, Mathematics and Languages of the Federal University of Pará, year 2018-2019, in particular, writing exercises with concern related to teaching mathematics. These exercises took place in the form of oral and written narratives, highlighting the last one for this thesis. As a result, it was possible to clarify that in mathematics education it is feasible to open spaces for listening, narratives, self-writing, which allow one to look at oneself, its practices and behaviors, allowing an educational practice that runs through an aesthetics of existence, to the extent that the dogmatic truths of the formative field can be put into reflection and, therefore, in stages of knowledge so that teachers in training can proceed with an ethical practice in addition to mechanical practices.
