Objective: To determine the relationship between family functionality and self-care in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Manuel Manrique Nevado Polyclinic, Chiclayo, 2019. Methodology: The research was quantitative with a cross-sectional and correlational design. Its objective was to determine the relationship between family functionality and self-care in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The information was collected using the instruments FACES III (Family Functionality) and SDSCA (Self-care in Diabetes), applied to 84 people made up the sample census. A pilot test was implemented to test the reliability of the instruments, for which Crombrach's Alpha was used, obtaining 0.79 and 0.72 respectively. The relationship between the variables was tested using Spearman's Correlation Coefficient. Main results: Mid-range functionality (52.4%) and the category without self-care practices predominated in the person with type 2 DM (86.9%). Family functionality had a significant relationship with self-care in people with type 2 DM only in its medication-taking dimension (p = 0.034). Conclusions: Overall, there is no significant relationship between family functionality and self-care in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Manuel Manrique Nevado Polyclinic, Chiclayo 2019. Recommendations: Promote activities that include the diabetic patient and his family, as well as raise awareness among the population so that they become aware of Diabetes in order to prevent it.
