This descriptive study aimed at identifying the profile of diabetic people and analyzing their difficulties to participate in an educational group for diabetes. Sixty-six diabetic people assisted in a large hospital from May to June, 2000 were interviewed. Results showed that of the 66 (100%) investigated subjects, 60.6% were aware of the educational activities in the hospital and that only 21 .2% participated in them. The main reasons for not participating mentioned by those who knew about the activities were: lack of interest, inadequate time and transportation difficulties, which evinces the need to strengthen and enlarge the educational group for diabetes.
