Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic profile, health conditions, and social distancing
of people with diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: cross-sectional,
exploratory study, conducted with 111 participants from two Facebook® Virtual Communities
focused on diabetes mellitus, from August 2020 to January 2021, using an electronic form,
containing sociodemographic variables, health conditions and social distancing profile. For data
analysis, the IBM SPSS® software, version 24.0 was used. Results: there was a prevalence
of comorbidity in women (70.3%), in middle age (53.2%); diagnosis for more than six years
(67.7%), with diet being the most used treatment (81.1%). Most were not diagnosed with a
mental disorder (79.3%). Regarding social isolation, 45.0% of the participants adhered to it.
Conclusion: although a small proportion of diabetics had a mental disorder, the pandemic
negatively impacted their lives, as they are more likely to develop severe forms of SARS-CoV-2.
