Background and Objectives: To identify more vulnerable population groups and guides preventive actions, the study aimed to understand the epidemiological profile, characterize the foot and identify the presence of neuropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes at an outpatient clinic in the Federal District. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study. Data were collected through therapeutic evaluation and analysis of medical records of people with type 2 diabetes at the Specialized Outpatient Clinic of the Health Department of the Federal District, in the period between 2022 and 2023, using convenience sampling. Results: 67 people were included, of whom were female 35 (52,2%), elderly 41 (61,1%) and on a low income 47 (64,1%). The following characteristics were observed: glycated hemoglobin ≥7% (87,5%) and the presence of integumentary and circulatory alterations. In addition, 31 (46,2%) of the individuals showed signs of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Conclusion: It was observed that women, the elderly and people on low incomes had diabetes in a state of decompensation, and almost half of the sample had peripheral neuropathy.
