Results: 29 informants participated, 21 women; average age was 48.5 years; All married; 100% women were engaged in unpaid domestic work; the predominant schooling was primary (six years or less).

Herbalism is used and signified as an effective treatment for Diabetes; According to the informants, it is women who carry out the self-care of the disease the most; Lastly, significant trust in God was found for health outcomes.
