The studies of recent decades prioritize diabetes as a highly significant disease. It is projected that by 2030, the number of people with diabetes will exceed 300 million, prompting systematic investigations on the topic. The objective of this study was to describe the relationship between self-care and the degree of metabolic imbalance in patients with Diabetes Mellitus admitted to the internal medicine ward of Gabriela Alvarado Hospital during the first half of 2023. The previously designed and validated EBADE questionnaire was used to assess self-care barriers in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. This instrument is considered reliable due to its numerous applications in the field of medical sciences. Following the questionnaire's administration, focusing on dietary control, medication, and medical supervision variables, it was observed that over 80% of respondents exhibit low self-monitoring during states of compensation. This lack of self-care contributes to disruptions in food consumption and medication adherence. It is essential to emphasize that self-care has visible implications in the disease's compensation state, making it an effective tool for disease management.
