Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem, both because of its high prevalence, and for its complications, patients requiring a lot of care that should be incorporated into your routine. Self-care in DM is capable of promoting recommended glycemic levels and, consequently, decrease the acute and chronic complications of the disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the process of self-care in patients with DM tipo 2 enrolled in the Education Program and Control DM (PECDM) of the municipality of Jataí / GO. The main tool of this research was to collect testimonies, through semi-structured interviews. For the analysis of the interviews, the speeches were transcribed and subjected to content analysis employing the exploitation of categories, as proposed by thematic analysis of Bardin. In order to meet the objectives that guided the implementation of this study, from the thematic analysis of the transcripts of the interviews were prepared three categories: knowledge of the disease; practices and difficulties in the process of self-care and the role of self-care PECDM. The results showed that the participants have knowledge of the concept, treatment and complications of DM and mentioned that the balanced diet, regular exercise, medication, blood glucose monitoring and the use of alternative therapies are part of self-care, but despite this knowledge, we note that there are some factors that may hinder the achievement of self-care and socioeconomic difficulties, emotional state, lack of support from family and deficiency in the purchase of medicines. The PECDM has contributed satisfactorily to perform self-care for most participants, through multidisciplinary care, which ensures compliance of the ordinance inputs and medicines to patients with diabetes, educational activities and support groups, but it was found also the difficulty participants to consult with an endocrinologist and problems in therapeutic relationship between health professional and patient. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of this study for a discussion about the educational approach in the process of self-care in diabetes and among the different possibilities of realizing it, valuing the bond issue and listening, in order to provide better value for Patients with the disease.
