INTRODUCTION: diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by the presence of hyperglycemia due to impaired secretion and/or use of insulin by the body. Studies indicate that the presence of anxiety in people with DM is related to the complications of the disease, unfavorable behaviors to self-care and a higher risk of mortality. In addition, there is an association between depression and anxiety with the worsening of quality of life (QoL) in this population. OBJECTIVE: to investigate the effects of an online intervention group focused on the levels of anxiety and depression in people with diabetes. METHODS: clinical, quasi-experimental study of repeated measures, using the pre- and post-test design, with a sample of 11 patients, 2 men and 9 women (81.8%), aged between 26 and 65 years (M=42.81; SD=12.24). The intervention was held in 8 weekly group meetings, where themes about anxiety, depression, medication, self-care and coping strategies were addressed. RESULTS: there was a reduction in anxiety, stress and depression scores in the post-test. The magnitude of the effect of the intervention was considered strong for anxiety, depression and stress. CONCLUSIONS: it was concluded that there was a significant reduction in symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, and clinically perceived improvement of self-care and QoL.
