    Type II diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among older adults, leading to multiple microvascular and macrovascular complications that affect their quality of life. In this context, the present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the main chronic complications associated with this condition in older adults participating in the “Mis Años Dorados” program, promoted by the Sayausí GAD, during the period from April to July 2025. A quantitative approach was used, with a descriptive cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 older adults diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus, to whom a structured survey validated by expert judgment was applied. The results showed a high prevalence of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases, the latter being the most reported. A significant relationship was also observed between the duration of the disease, poor glycemic control, and the onset of complications. The research also included an educational intervention aimed at improving self-care habits, glycemic control, and regular attendance to medical check-ups. It is concluded that comprehensive management and continuous education are key factors in preventing or delaying the onset of chronic complications. In addition, it is recommended to strengthen institutional support for older adults through community programs, early detection campaigns, and nutritional follow-up. This proposal highlights the need to develop local health policies that promote healthy aging and timely care of non-communicable chronic diseases, with a preventive and humanized approach.
