ABSTRACT

Diabetes is becoming a major health problem in our country. The number of diabetic patients is increasing day by day in an alarming way. Professionals estimate that by year 2025th there will be twelve millions of diabetics in Mexico. Obesity is one of the most important risk factors for this illness and it has been found that patients don’t follow their diets. Psychologists had got into this field with different researches and programs to reach this goal, nevertheless their results had not been consistent or satisfactory. Psychological Model of Biological Health proposed by Ribes on 1990 is a conceptual framework that leads to the identification of the different psychological factors relevant to illness and health. On this paper within this framework diabetes prevention is analyzed. Relevant psychological factors for diabetes are described and general routes are proposed to design efficient strategies to train different competences that allow patients to follow their diets in order to control their diabetes.
