Diabetes is a chronic disease known for about 3,500 years and that affects, currently, about 18.8 million people in the world, have being, therefore, of great interest to many researchers from different fields. This disease results from a shortage of insulin, which plays a key role in the metabolic processes of the body. The incidence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has shown considerable growth in recent decades, mainly due to the high life expectancy and also the result of destructive health behaviors such as substance abuse, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. The present study aimed to evaluate the Quality of Life, the psychological dynamic, adaptive efficacy and to verify blood glucose levels of people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a psychoeducational group. The study included 14 people with this chronic disease. The instruments used were: 1. Scale of the Brazilian Association of Market Research Institutes (ABIPEME); 2. Adaptive Operational Diagnostic Scale (EDAO); 3. Test of Object Relations of Phillipson (TRO); and 4. WHOQOL-bref. The results showed that some patients had a significant improvement in their glucose levels after the performed of the psychoeducational group, even noting that some have not yet achieved good control of their blood sugar. The quality of life of participants showed very good levels. To evaluate the efficacy and adaptive psychological dynamics of these participants, it was found that it is difficult to accept that one has a chronic illness and have attitudes to perform the appropriate treatment. We conclude that for these people with diabetes can adhere to the treatment, is necessary for them to present a good ability to resolve conflicts, and showcase your inner world related to the depressive position. If these factors are balanced, the lifestyle and welfare of these patients will be positive, so that they can thus present a good prognosis with fewer complications from the disease for longer life.
