Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a consequence of the interaction of genetic and environmental factors, among which lifestyle plays a fundamental role. It comprises a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia. Several different types of DM exist due to a complex interplay between genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.

The data was analyzed through SPSS version 20. In order to determine lifestyles of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who attend a medical unit in Navojoa, Sonora.

Given the above conditions, 78% presented a bad lifestyle and 22% a good lifestyle; only 26.7% of the patients with glycosylated hemoglobin in control target less than 6.5% and 73.3% with glycosylated hemoglobin out of target (greater than 6.5%).
