Summary:	This study approaches the relationship between public policies and the rights of SUS (Single Health System) users with diabetes mellitus regarding the supplies used in the treatment of diabetes, under the view of legal rules and procedures for support of this population.

The educational process needs to be strengthened, including the ethical-political dimension during actions implemented with SUS users.
