OBJECTIVE: to verify the effectiveness of adopting the practice of educational groups in primary care and the multiprofessional role in the control of diabetes mellitus in adults. METHODOLOGY: a randomized clinical study carried out in an educational group at the Basic Health Unit Nova Bonsucesso with six monthly meetings scheduled with 24 patients with type II diabetes mellitus users of oral hypoglycemic agents divided into two subgroups: 12 users in the control group and 12 users in the control group. study (which will receive the interventions of the multidisciplinary team) and will be accompanied by laboratory tests and individual evaluations to verify the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary action in the control of diabetes mellitus.

INTRODUCTION: diabetes mellitus is highlighted as an obstacle in health equipment because it is a chronic disease and has a high mortality rate. The pathology results in hyperglycemia, disorders or insufficiency of several organs. OBJECTIVE: to verify the effectiveness of adopting the practice of educational groups in primary care and the multidisciplinary role in the control of diabetes mellitus in adults. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND: type II diabetes mellitus (type II DM) is a pathology that represents a high risk for cardiovascular, renal, ophthalmological complications and in several other systems. It is considered a major issue to be controlled by health services, as the high cost of treatments related to the sequelae of type II DM, as well as high rates of hospitalizations and associated therapies have been increasing and decompensating public budgets. Primary care has a fundamental role in preventing the disease and associated complications. METHODOLOGY: randomized clinical study conducted in an educational group at the Basic Health Unit Nova Bonsucesso with six monthly meetings scheduled with 24 patients with type II diabetes mellitus users of oral hypoglycemic agents divided into two subgroups: 12 users in the control group and 12 users in the group study (which will receive the interventions of the multidisciplinary team) and will be accompanied by laboratory tests and individual evaluations to verify the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary performance in the control of diabetes mellitus. RESULTS: the participants are expected to show improvements in the control of the pathology and awareness about the relevance of self-care, facts that will be observed through laboratory data and subsequent multi-professional evaluations.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 24 on-insulin-dependent type II diabetes patients (users of oral hypoglycemic agents),
• over 18 years of age,
• both sexes,
• with no restrictions on physical exercise (found after medical evaluation)
• who agreed to participate voluntarily in the study (after signature of the Free and Informed Consent Form)
• of a specific area of the Family Health Strategy - chosen by the proximity to the Basic Health Unit.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with associated pathologies: cardiovascular conditions: Congestive Heart Failure,Decompensated Systemic Arterial Hypertension, Sequela of Acute Myocardial Infarction
• Cancer patients,
• Respiratory conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Severe asthma and any other disabling lung condition.
• Endocrine conditions that aggravate diabetes mellitus: Pancreatic pathologies (pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, obstructions and pancreatic cancer)
• Patients with impaired vision,
• Motor or balance disorders,
• With any special needs (physical or intellectual),
• With consequences resulting from the evolution of type II diabetes mellitus
• Users who refused to participate in the research.

The formation of randomized groups will occur by random drawing, obeying the proportion of 1: 1 in both groups, that is, 12 participants in each group (control and intervention) that will be selected after the screening carried out by the research nurse (to verify some possible exclusion criteria for research participants), reducing the occurrence of methodological bias in the sampling phase and ensuring the possibility that all participants can be included in the intervention group.
