“…A previous study showed that treatment with only diet or oral medication was presented by most of the population with insufficient knowledge and negative attitudes towards the disease. ( 10 ) The findings of this study are relevant in the context of public health since they point to the need for interventions under factors that can be easily modified, which would provide greater knowledge to individuals affected by DM. However, the transversal nature of this study and the lack of evaluation of other geographical realities could be pointed out as limitations of this study and, for this reason, direct new studies addressing the theme.…”
