We sought to identify with some aspects of this study the levels of knowledge and perception of quality of life of seniors on the DM. The sample consisted of 78 elderly subjects, all of which responded to the Brazilian version of the Knowledge Scale Questionnaire Diabetes Mellitus before and after guidelines on the pathology. The data presented in this study showed a deficiency in knowledge of the elderly on the prevention of disease as much about the treatment and maintenance of quality of life of existing carriers.
