Objective: to verify characteristics related to self-care and clinical parameters in patients with type 2diabetes mellitus. Methods: descriptive and exploratory, cross-sectional study, conducted with 173 patients assisted in 12 Family Health Units in the urban area of a city in the Northeast region of Brazil. Results: most participants (61.3%) were female, aged less than 60 years old. There were significant differences in the lower glycemic control (p = 0.014), capillary glycemia (p = 0.018) and alcohol consumption (p = 0.015) for men as well as higher central obesity indexes for women (p = 0.000). It was observed high frequency of overweight, abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood glucose levels and insufficient levels of physical activity. Conclusion: there is the need for nursing actions aimed at improving self-care and control of the clinical parameters in these patients.

Objetivo: verificar características relacionadas con el autocuidado y los parámetros clínicos en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Métodos: estudio descriptivo y exploratorio, transversal, realizado con 173 pacientes atendidos en 12 centros de salud familiar de la zona urbana de una ciudad del noreste brasileño. Resultados: la mayoría (61,3%) eran mujeres, de edad igual o superior a 60 años. Hubo diferencias significativas cuanto al menor control glucémico (p = 0,014), valores de glucemia capilar (p = 0,018) y consumo de alcohol (p = 0,015) para hombres, así como mayores tasas de obesidad central para mujeres (p = 0,000). Fueron verificadas altas frecuencias de exceso de peso, obesidad abdominal, sobrepeso, presión arterial alta, niveles elevados de glucosa en sangre y actividad física insuficiente. Conclusión: hay necesidad de acciones de enfermería dirigidas a mejorar el autocuidado y control de los parámetros clínicos en estos pacientes.
