The purpose of randomization is to compare the effects and values of the dependent variables ( knowledge about diabetes mellitus, psychological attitudes, adherence to practices related to physical activity and diet self-care, empowerment for self-care in diabetes mellitus and control of clinical indicators ) in the experimental group with the group control, which are associated with the independent variable ( educational program). For the experimental group an educational systematized process, to evaluate the scope for enhancing the educational process with emphasis on Diabetes empowerment to provide self-care, thereby improving disease control will be performed. Have the control group will maintain the traditional care through individual consultations and information about the disease, through leaflets that could assist in the educational process for self-management of care. All subjects in the experimental group and the control group will be questioned in the pre -test and post - test by related instruments: (1) knowledge of the diabetes mellitus, (2) attitudes toward the psychological aspects, (3) self-care (medication adherence, diet and physical activity), (4) empowerment for self-care in diabetes mellitus and (5) clinical indicators.
