“…The two groups, IG and CG, were found to be homogeneous in relation to education, as 66.7% and 67.6% of the participants respectively, had incomplete primary education, which enabled the comparison of learning between them. Other studies also found a predominance of this education level in patients with DM (6,19) . The advanced age found in this population did not represent difficulties in learning, a different result than was found in a study that examined the barriers to diabetes education and concluded that older people, among other difficulties, also present limitations in education (9) .…”

The low education level of the elderly participants should be looked into due to the influence that education may have on aspects such as their understating and following the recommended treatment, nursing instructions, following the diet plan, performing glucose level control and other follow-up exams that may influence health-disease.…”
