Abstract

Objective: to characterize the impacts of social distancing caused by the Coronavirus disease pandemic on the lives of people with Diabetes Mellitus.
Method: a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in Brazil from May to June 2020 with 102 patients with Diabetes Mellitus, through a virtual form, addressing sociodemographic, self-care and mental health issues. The association between the variables was assessed using the chi-square test (p<0.05).
Results: of the 45 (44.11%) individuals who stated eating poorly, 33 (32.35%) reported weight changes (p=0.008); in relation to mental health, 59 (57.84%) presented regular or bad conditions; with regard to consultations, 84 individuals (82.75%) indicated interruption or irregularity; of the 58 (56.86%) who stated socioeconomic losses, 37 (36.27%) had difficulties in adherence to inputs
(p<0.000).
Conclusion: multi-professional measures must be focused on the factors that exert a negative influence on metabolic control, as well as on establishing remote care, to minimize the reduction in assistance.
