Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a chronic disease without visible symptoms at its beginning may have particular effects on the behavior of patients, as well as raising ways of how to approach the population in terms of regards its prevention. The symptomatological silence in the initial phase of the disease has repercussions on preventive behaviors and the chronicity of the disease, is an aspect that can favor the establishment of habits that become a patient's lifestyle or it can reduce care due to fatigue in following diets or guidelines, which implies another lifestyle in which guidelines about the disease are not the patient's priority. The component of subjectivity must be considered in any approach to disease in a health system that involves promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Here, subjectivity is understood as individual processes that directly imply adherence to health treatment (GUIMARÃES; MENEGHEL, 2003). DM is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia persistent, due to deficiency in insulin production or action, or in both mechanisms (SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA DE DIABETES, 2019). DM is a rapidly growing public health problem throughout the world. world. By 2021, the International Diabetes Federation projected that 16% of world population between 20 and 79 years of age, living with diabetes. And the estimate for the year 2045, it will be approximately 783 million people with Diabetes (INTERNATIONAL DIABETES FEDERATION, 2021). In the Americas, estimates are that 62 million individuals live with DM, and these numbers tend to increase each year. To contain the advance of DM, there is a global agreement to reduce the number of DM and Obesity by the year of 2025 (PAHO, 2021a).
