Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases are the main chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. The literature shows that educational interventions can promote, among other benefits, the reduction of cardiac risk, especially when they include, in practice, lifestyle changes. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of an educational program, centered on self-care and concurrent physical training, on the cardiovascular parameters of 15 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was a higher frequency of elderly, female, low educational level, a diagnosis time less than 10 years and the use of oral antidiabetics.
