The general objective of this article is to evaluate, from an ethnographic approach, the social representations (SR) of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in the municipality of Neiva (Colombia) in 2020. To achieve this, 50 people, with sociodemographic characteristics of gender, ages, studies, and socioeconomic strata were interviewed. The social representations found among people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the municipality of Neiva (Colombia) in 2019 were: sugar, anguish, changes, care, illness, inheritance, death, and sadness.
