Abstract
In this chapter, diabetes will be understood as a complex and common disease in Mexico, which greatly affects the person and those around him, especially the couple. Likewise, the importance of the couple is evident, since it contributes to offset the negative effects of the disease, through the social support it provides, increasing self-care, adaptation to changes, effective coping, motivation to commit to adaptive behaviors, and as long-term consequences, an improvement in the health and well-being of the patient. Therefore, in this research, 248 people with diabetes who were in a romantic relationship were studied, in order to explore how satisfaction with social support and the ability to receive it affects their health and subjective well-being.
