Qualitative study seeking to analyze, based on the theoretical framework of institutional analysis, the videos broadcast on diabetes mellitus and Covid-19 by Rede Globo’s television media. Eighteen videos were identifid between December 31, 2019 and May 31, 2020. There was a predominance of videos in March (50%), doctors and users as an information source (55%), approach to the level of primary prevention for Covid-19 (72%) and secondary for diabetes (89%) and omission from the Unifid Health System (100%). The videos pointed out the absence of diabetes medication in the services and the dissemination of misinformation about Covid-19. The health professionals interviewed issued guidelines aimed at the logic of risk to subjects with diabetes mellitus. Greater dissemination of the actions of the Unifid Health System is necessary in times of pandemic Covid-19 and implementation of guidelines closer to the population’s ways of living.
