This research aimed to explore whether people with diabetes mellitus 2 and high values in the sense of coherence scale have better metabolic control. Cross-sectional study in patients with diabetes 2. The value of the coherence sense scale and HbA1c glycosylated hemoglobin was determined. A multivariate analysis was carried out by conglomerates and the average HbA1c ratio was established for these groups. 163 subjects participated with an average of 59.64 years. Three clusters were identified and classified as High, Medium and Low sense of Coherence. When establishing the relationship with HbA1c it was found that the High Group had an average HbA1c of 6.22%, the middle group 7.24% and the low group 7.49% of HbA1c, p
