Resumo:Diabetes mellitus is a disease of interest to public health given the increase of cases as well as the individual challenge to live with it. The treatment consists, among others, in the adoption of a balanced and restrictive diet. Feeding is a complex event involving biological and socio-cultural, having it governed from the disease does not seem simple task. The aim of this study is to analyze how is the feeding experience and its interface with the challenges for the dietary treatment of people living with diabetes mellitus. The research was guided by a qualitative approach, based on interviews with five people living with diabetes about the experience and ways to deal with the illness. The selection of participants was based on criteria of registration and identification on Hiperdia Program from Family Health Unit (USF) in Bom Pastor, Natal city, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The material produced was constituted by the narrative of the participants interviewed and field notes. The analysis considered the reports of respondents, keeping dialogue with the literature. The results indicate that people living with diabetes tend to make adjustments in the patterns of prescriptions as a way to feel good about the disease and, therefore, adopt personal strategies for managing your food and how to deal with everyday. The choices in turn are guided by the culture underlying the objective and subjective factors which, according to circumstances, and not only by disease, state what should or should not be eaten. We conclude that understanding the cultural aspects creates a new analytical perspective for studies of feeding experience and its reflection in adherence to dietary treatment, in addition to the explanatory and normative biomedical model. Understand the impact that the illness from diabetes mellitus produces in people's lives and in the state of illness are challenges for an Expanded and Participative Clinic of Nutrition in which nutritional intervention rescue the dimension of the care, give voice and listen to the patients in creative dialogue between knowledge, professional and user, so he/she will be able to create his/her own way of dealing with the diet, seeking new meanings to their eating habits and recreation in his/her way of life and live with the disease.
