Abstract

This study aimed to discuss learning as an indicator for the management of the control of type 2 diabetes complications, as well os its self-care during the pandemic of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19. During the experience of the professionals of the matrix team of the Extended Nucleus of Family Health in Primary Care (NASF-AB) in home care and call center, it was observed that much has information about their health condition, but many did not adhere to the treatment. It was a cross-sectional study, with a qualitative and ethnographic approach, with the guiding question “what does self-care mean to you?”As a result, supported care serves to organize thinking; it becomes a space that mobilizes interaction processes, which favors learning and the discussion of challenging situations for coping with the disease with greater knowledge and with the construction of an active and autonomous subject of care.
