Using a problem-solving training model applied to a Mexican population sample with diabetes mellitus2 (DM2), the influence of the level of schooling in the acquisition of problem-solving skills for glycemic control was investigated. Twenty adults diagnosed with DM2 participated, 12 men and 8 women, with an average age of 60.17 years for men and 61.25 years for women and with an average schooling of 15.67 and 9.13 years for men and women, respectively. Before and after the face-to-face training workshop, the degree of problem-solving skills was estimated using a 16-item questionnaire, as well as the level of blood glucose. The comparison between the measurements before and after the workshop showed that the group with the highest level of education obtained better grades than the one with the lowest level of education, both in the problem-solving test and in the glycemic control. The result confirms the importance of considering in the instructional design of training workshops in problem-solving skills, the educational level of the target population, in order to improve the tools available for glycemic management.
