Objective: to know the perception of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus cared for at the Family Health Strategy. Method: descriptive study, performed with ten diabetics, randomly selected during follow-up. Data collection took place through a semi-structured interview script, and it was analyzed in a descriptive way by the presentation of analytical categories: Lifestyle; Educational Activities on Diabetes Mellitus; Knowledge about Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus Complications, Diabetes Mellitus Care, and Vision on Provided Nursing Care. Results: patients with diabetes reported contentment at the routine visit, because they received the medication. They could observe the deficiency of knowledge about their disease and the lack of health education activities with this public. Conclusion: there was a lack of educational activities, as well as the need to promote self-care, aiming at a better quality of life in order to increase the self-esteem of patients with the studied disease.
