Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is perceived and managed in different ways according to the notions that each person has, which may be different based on gender. Objective: To describe the perception of men on having type 2 diabetes mellitus across the Colombian population. Method: Qualitative-descriptive study with content analysis based on an inductive categorization. Six participants who met the inclusion criteria (men, older than 30 years of age, with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and with a duration of the disease of at least one year in 2016) were included. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on their process and perception of the disease in their lives, which were then analyzed and coded using the Atlas.ti program. Results: The 7 categories obtained account for the perception of men regarding the disease. These perceptions show an association of health with the absence of symptoms and pain. To understand what having diabetes was like implied a process of coping and adaptation in which they sought to make sense out of diabetes through knowing what the disease is and how to integrate it into daily life Conclusion: The experience of diabetes in older Colombian men shows the difficulty inherent to accepting the diagnosis, committing to self-care behaviors adequate for the control of diabetes, and recognizing and seeking health care when required for complications of the disease.
