Abstract

Introduction: diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a silent disease that affects up to 20% of our population and of it, up to 50% do not know that it suffers. This disease is associated with a high prevalence of risk factors such as overweight, obesity and physical inactivity. Frequently, DM2 is diagnosed late and sometimes generates a large number of associated complications that could be avoided.
