Diabetes mellitus is an entity with a high prevalence that in recent years has had an upward trend, mainly in the economically active population, implying that more and more women of childbearing potential with this disease will exist. It is recommended that these women receive a type of specialized care such as preconception care, at least three months before conception, to help achieve favorable gestational outcomes. It is then desirable that this clinical activity can be registered in order to standardize and facilitate professional practice in this field, in order to improve the quality of this care service. This is the fundamental reason for the implementation of the preconceptional care protocol in diabetes, at the Diabetic Patients Care Center of the Institute of Endocrinology, that is presented in this article.

Keywords : Care protocol; diabetes mellitus; preconceptional care.
