Background According to the IDF the number of cases worldwide reached 387 million in 2014, while Brazil occupies the 4th place in the overall ranking with over 13 million cases. These data refer to both Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and T1D. Although T1D affects the minority of patients, it is responsible for many of the serious complications. T1D, usually diagnosed in youth, requires continuous treatment and control that demand care such as diet, medication and lifestyle changes. This project addresses the importance of a Structured Education Program (SEP) for self-care of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D).
