Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the main chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. The literature shows that educational interventions can promote, among other benefits, the reduction of cardiac risk, especially when they include, in practice, lifestyle changes.

There was a higher frequency of elderly, female, low educational level, a diagnosis time less than 10 years and the use of oral antidiabetics.
