The Diabetes Mellitus is a disease without cure which affects approximately a half million of Portuguese people. There is an epidemic expansion and appears like the source or motive of several healthy problems. It is a complex disease to control due to numerous factors, in which, the own patient’s care, inadequate food, the sedentarism, the lack of knowledge of the consequences, and others. The main objectives of this work are to evaluate the present glucose in the blood in the collect day; to evaluate the glycol haemoglobin (HbA1c); to evaluate the patient’s knowledge height and care according the diabetes; to report the diary glucose and the glycol haemoglobin rates with the disease knowledge. The study occurs with 54 diabetic individuals of type 2, no dependents of insulin, who are treated in the diabetology appointment from the “Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira”, both sexes, with ages from 48 to 92. The analyses of the results, reveals in the studied sample that a glycaemia rate was bigger than it was expected for these diseased people, on the other hand, the HbA1c, is in an acceptable rate; there was a very low correlation between the glycaemia and HbA1c ; we also checked that the knowledge don’t set apart according the gender and age and the knowledge don’t influence the glycaemia rates nor the HbA1c.
