Abstract

We evaluate the epidemiological profile and knowledge of patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) attended at outpatient clinics in the city of Ribeirão Preto - SP. This is a basic, field-based, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study conducted by a structured interview. The research instrument consisted of a questionnaire, with objective questions. The total sample consisted of 191 participants. Of those, only 13.1% had a college degree, 63.9% had complete primary school and 23% had completed high school. Regarding the time of disease, 22 had the diagnosis less than one year, 62 between 2-5 years, 43 between 6-10 years and 64 over 10 years. We identified about ophthalmology consultations, that 54% made an annual evaluation, 22% twice a year, 12% only visited the ophthalmologist when they had a visual complaint and 12% reported having only consulted. Of the complications that DM can cause, 3.1% reported sexual impotence, 8.3% acute myocardial infarction, 16.3% kidney failure, 15.2% limb amputation and 57.1% blindness. Regarding questions about self-care, a high percentage of people do not do it properly. In conclusion, the majority of patients, despite multidisciplinary follow-up, presented little knowledge about DM and its complications. Adequate adherence to treatment and avoidance of complications related to diabetes are essential to the dissemination of information on the disease and adequate care.
