title: [Problems of educational programs in health: strategies of diabetics].
abstract: The present paper had as objective to reflect on the health education process faced by the diabetic person when confronted with prohibitions and limitations imposed by the disease and health professionals. As framework, the paper relied on Michell Maffesoli's Comprehensive Sociology which, through the study of daily life, reveals that the human being uses transgressions and double games to escape the rules imposed by society. To silence, to keep secret, not to dialogue, seems to be strategies that reflect our way of doing health education.
