Experience developed with visually impaired people in the Association for the Blind in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará (Brazil). A conference for 40 people was held about the concept, risk factors and treatment of diabetes followed by selection, interview, and verification of anthropometrics measures and capillary glycemia. In this phase 26 people participated. The values obtained related to capillary glycemia by strip varied from 74 to 193 mg/dl. Age index was from 11 to 57 years with 17 females and 9 males. The time of the most recent meal varied between 2 and 6 hours. Among risk factors faced: 20 people reported being sedentary, 10 with a history of diabetes in the family; 4 being overweight y 2 with hypertension. The conclusion we arrive at is that it is of fundamental importance to inform and prevent diabetes in this type of patients.
