Abstract
Diabetes, like other chronic diseases, requires constant monitoring and self-care. The objective was to identify the contributions of the multidisciplinary team for the prevention of complications and treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients. This is a descriptive exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with 31 health professionals, working in Health Units in Curitiba/PR. It resulted in the identification of subjects for which professionals would like to be better trained and the items considered important for stimulating and qualifying care for diabetic patients. A Care Card was prepared, encouraging self-care, placing the team and the patient as allies in controlling the disease. It is considered that an active and trained multidisciplinary team, with an improved view of the disease and its determinants, combined with a patient who is knowledgeable about self-care, is a favorable combination for successful treatment, prevention of chronic complications, and reduction of damage to the individual's health
