Many people can control their disease through a healthy diet and increased physical activity, and oral medication, if they persist without glycemic control, they must use exogenous insulin.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> &nbsp;Quasi-experimental study developed in a group control and intervention group of patients who began treatment with insulin in the discharge plan. Were two scales of measurement, one for the self-care agency and the scale of security in the therapy of insulin validated in Colombia</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At the intragroup level, the conventional educational intervention, used in the control group, did not have an effect on the safe administration of insulin (p-value = 0.07). Conversely, the experimental strategy increased the safety score in the administration of insuline; mean difference of 8 points, (p-value = 0.0001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> &nbsp;The results obtained in this research are consistent with other previous research, it should be noted that the number of patients ranged between 20 and 32 individuals, applied different educational interventions, as well as knowledge, anthropometric and clinical aspects were measured. Accordingly, the “starting with insulin” educational</p></td></tr></tbody></table> ER -
