Adesão ao tratamento e controle da diabetes mellitus na Estratégia Saúde da Família

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose and is associated with numerous complications such as: ketoacidosis, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, among others. The disease is very common and growing mainly due to the aging population and the prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyle. After the situational diagnosis of the health area of the Luar da Pampulha family, in the city of Ribeirão das Neves, State of Minas Gerais, the high incidence of patients diagnosed with Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus was decompensated. Faced with this problem, the objective of this study was to collect data through the literature to support actions aimed at health promotion and prevention of decompensation of diabetes mellitus in the Luar Health team of Pampulha. The study was carried out through a narrative review and situational diagnosis following the Strategic Situational Planning (PES), and searching for information in scientific articles in the databases of the Virtual Health Library, MedLine, Scielo, Ministry of Health and Brazilian Society of Diabetes, as well as in printed books that address the subject studied. After the implementation of the intervention project aimed at adherence to the drug treatment and non-drug treatment of diabetic patients, it is expected to reduce the rates of decompensation of the disease in the health unit.
