Diabetes Mellitus is one of the four main non-communicable diseases, which makes it a global health problem. This research aimed to analyze the incidence of risk factors in the care of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A quantitative, analytical and descriptive approach was used, with a non-experimental, field design. The survey technique was used in a sample of 169 patients who were given semi-structured interviews. These instruments were designed to evaluate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the influence of various risk factors, including age, sex, comorbidity with arterial hypertension, body mass index and metabolic control. The results revealed the predominance of the older adult age range, obesity within the body mass index assessments, normal blood pressure, although with data from hypertensive patients to be taken into account and a marked metabolic imbalance, in addition to the direct relationship between diabetic neuropathy and sex, where the female gender predominated. A high percentage of patients with the disease report experiencing pain, with 83.8% being women in contrast to 59.3% of men. It is concluded that the incidence of these risk factors can significantly influence the quality of life and the effective management of the disease, so specific management and care strategies are required to help prevent future complications.
