%X this study aimed to analyze the daily care of the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus (dm2) in the light of the theoretical assumptions of leininger. this is a descriptive, qualitative study, with the participation of 8 elderly patients with dm2 in a health unit in the city of fortaleza, state of cear¨˘, brazil. the data were collected through semi-structured interviews. data analysis was performed through content analysis and contemplated pre-analysis, material investigation and treatment and interpretation of the obtained data. the categories that emerged from the testimonies in the light of leininger' concepts are: world view, cultural care and environmental context. we believe that older people with dm2 feel a constant fragility about their lives, and they look to guarantee their health through the cultivation of faith in religion, the use of medicinal plants, and the support of health professionals.
