Se evidenciaron factores de riesgo para diabetes mellitus y pie diabético: hiperlipidemia, hiperglucemia, obesidad y hábitos alimentarios inadecuados.
Objectives: to determine prevalence and prevention activities by physicians and patients. Identify risk factors: foot, metabolic, dietary and nutritional status. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study, from October 2009 to June 2011 in adult patients hospitalized with diabetes mellitus. Ethics Committee approval. Medical questionnaire, nutritional assessment, measurement A1c and lipids, education through self care booklet. Descriptive analysis: quantitative and qualitative variables, Pearson correlation coefficients; Excel 2007 and SPSS version-15.0 programs. Results: 263 patients were surveyed; 44.1% men and 55.9% women; mean age 63.6 ± 13.3; time of diabetes diagnosis 11.4 ± 8.5 years. 58.9% had primary schooling, socioeconomic status 1-2 (71.3%). Clinical antecedents: ulcers 14.8%, 1.9% amputation, dysesthesias 49.8%, 22.7% intermittent claudication, foot exam by physician 42.9%. Prevention activities by doctors are precarious because 59.5% do not educate about foot self-care, 57.1% examine feet, 68.3% ask about dysesthesias, 74.8% about intermittent claudication.

Correlation: BMI and waist midpoint circumference (r = 0.750, p = 0.000); BMI and body fat percentage (r = 0.586, p = 0.000). Eating habits: fried food preference 42.3%; Low consumption: animal protein (12.7%), dairy (31.8%), fruits (64.7%) and vegetables (57.9%); high starch consumption (43.4%).
