Abstract
This integrative review sought to find evidence in the literature regarding the impact of diabetes mellitus upon work. The data collection was performed using the National Library of Medicine; Health Sciences Literature in Latin America and the Caribbean; and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Seventeen publications were found that met the selection criteria. Evidence was presented in four areas: reduced capacity and productivity at work; chronic complications that worsen the impact of Diabetes mellitus upon work; early retirement and its economic consequences for society; and aspects that enable self-care of the disease at work. Diabetes mellitus has negative implications for the insertion and retention of people in the labor market, worsened by chronic complications, conducive to the development of disabilities and inability to work, as well as early retirement. doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i4.22328.
