Materials and methods: a correlational quantitative research was developed that took as reference the Model Health Promotion, and that included by simple random sampling to 86 individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2,in those who have been able to establish their profile, perception of self-efficacy and user satisfaction through the instrument for the evaluation of self-efficacy in diabetes type 2(Cronbach's alpha of 0,85) and the PACIC (Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care) (Cronbach's alpha of 0,88). Results: The majority of users are women (65%),in the middle adult stage (65,1%), that are perceived as self-effective (82,6%)and show satisfaction with the service offered (76,7%),presenting metabolic decompensation (57%).It was observed an association between self-efficacy and age group (p = 0,002), having a partner (p = 0,029), glycosylated hemoglobin (p = 0,007)and the cognitive status of older adults (p = 0.017),as well as between satisfaction and the age group (p = 0,033),sex (<0,001), and employment status (p = 0,005).
