In DM, self-management is the basis for a better control, which is why public policy makers and healthcare providers should have available analytic tools that allow them to discriminate among the best self-care interventions in diabetes for older patients. Even though there are several metaanalyses already that offer this kind of review, this article proposes the use of Mechner's behavioral contingencies language to compare different approaches. Three interventions were described with this notation and even though there were some limitations for this analysis due to the fact that some results were not comparable or not available in the original papers, this formal symbolic language demonstrated to be useful for making analytical comparisons visually accessible, providing a better understanding of the contingencies that are at play in the situation and giving the advantage of cutting across all natural languages. 2012 artículo científico 0121-4381 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=134224283003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1342 Suma Psicológica application/pdf Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz Suma Psicológica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.19
