This descriptive, prospective, quantitative and comparative study, with before and after design. Main objective: compare the competence of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) for self care before and after their participation in a multiprofissional educational program. The study was carried out in the Research and Community Service Center in the interior of the state of São Paulo, with 43 patients with DM. The data collection was carried out between March 2009, Period 1 (T1), and June 2009, Period 2 (T2), through semi-structured interview, guided by two instruments, including the \"Scale to identify DM patients\' competence for Self Care\". The SPSS 15.0 was used for data analysis, with mixed effects model, normal distribution, average 0 and variance s2. The statistical level of significance adopted was 5% (p<0.05). Of the 43 (100%) patients interviewed, 67.4% were female, 86.0% from the city of Ribeirão Preto, 83.7% white, 65.2% married, 46.5% retired, 60.5% catholic, 41.9% lived with up to 2 people, 25.6% had con completed secondary education, 44.1% had monthly family income between 3 and 4 minimum wages, and 32.6% were aged between 60 and 69 years. With regard to the clinical parameters: 97.7% had type 2 DM, 46.5% had been diagnosed for [ 5 years, 79.0% declared not to smoke, 88.3% reported not drinking alcoholic drinks; 51.2% not following any diet; 72.0% not performing any physical activity, 76.7% use only oral antidiabetic medications, 76.8% has high blood pressure and 23.3% retinopathy. Regarding the Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP), the average was 130 mmHg ± 13.58 and 81 mmHg ± 10.47 at T1, and 123 mmHg ± 14.26 and 76 mmHg ± 8.90 at T2. For postprandial capillary glucose, the average was 181 mg/dL ± 81.74 at T1 and 157 mg/dL ± 64.54 at T2. For weight and BMI (body mass index), the average was 77.7 kg ± 16.70 and 30.2 kg/m2 ± 5.57 at T1, and, 76.1 kg ± 17.29 and 29.4 kg/m2 ± 5.66 at T2. Regarding the physical competence for self care, at T1 the average was 15.07 ± 1.01, and at T2 it was 18.10 ± 1.43. In the cognitive competence for self care, at T1 the average was 21.35 ± 4.28, and at T2, it was 33.26 ± 3.68. In the emotional and motivational competence for self care, the average was 34.51 ± 4.50 at T1 37.98 ± 3.80 at T2. In the statistical analysis the differences between the averages at T1 in comparison to T2 were statistically significant for SBP (p=0.03), DBP (p=0.01), cognitive competence (p<0.01) and emotional and motivational competence (p<0.01). It was concluded that the participation of patients with DM in a multiprofissional educational program favors the improvement of the competence for self care, since even in a short period of time significant changes were observed, it can be an important tool to reach the expected benefits.
