Abstract

Introduction: The recommended social distancing measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 caused high mental suffering, mainly for those affected by diabetes mellitus due to multiple metabolic, inflammatory and vascular changes.

Materials and methods: The research was approved by the Ethics Committee and Research with Human Beings, carried out through an online form, it is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out during the month of July 2020. Results: 472 adults with DM1 participated, 50.4% said that social distancing was causing stress in their home environment. For statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software, version 21, was used, a relationship was found between stress, hyperglycemia and less willingness to remain in social isolation; normoglycemia feeling of joy and greater willingness to remain in social isolation. Conclusion: Given this, it is observed that social distancing caused glycemic and mood changes in these individuals.
