Objetivo: describir el desarrollo de una teoría de rango medio que contribuya en el abordaje de las perspectivas tanto del individuo como de los integrantes de la familia considerando las relaciones e interacciones que surgen en la dinámica de la vida diaria al experimentar una situación de cronicidad. Método: la teoría fue desarrollada deductivamente del modelo de la organización sistémica, un modelo empleado en la investigación y en la disciplina de enfermería para el abordaje del sistema familiar e individual. Los vínculos entre los conceptos de la teoría se desarrollan bajo los niveles de abstracción planteados por Smith y Liehr. Resultados: el desarrollo de la teoría procesos familiares e individuales y descontrol glucémico en adultos con diabetes mellitus 2 sirve para construir la ciencia de enfermería mediante la integración de la teoría de enfermería existente y el conocimiento empírico. Conclusión: esta teoría ayuda a comprender de mejor forma como se percibe y otorga el apoyo al interior de la familia y la influencia con el automanejo del integrante con diabetes mellitus 2 reflejado en el control glucémico.(AU)
