Abstract

The present article recounts experience in Health Education related to Diabetes Mellitus. For the work, a series of health messages were transmitted to the population using the medium of Local Television, in order that the viewers, especially care providers and elderly people, could identify the general health guidelines relating to diet and exercise in non-insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus.

The television program was used to approach the society, with the educator put in a position to answer questions and resolve possible doubts that arose so that, through the broadcast of the educational programme, it was hoped to sensitise the community.
