The objective of this article is to analyze the structural conditions of health units and the guidelines, objectives/goals of municipal management related to the quality of those services in the capitals according to Brazilian regions, aimed at caring for persons suffering from Diabetes Mellitus. For that, a logical model and sub-dimensions/variables were developed to direct the search for data in the 3rd cycle of the Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Health Care. Descriptive analyzes of the capitals were performed by region of Brazil. For document analysis, we used the Health Plans of municipalities that presented a percentage of inadequacy greater than 50% for at least four dimensions among the seven analyzed in this study. The study revealed the need to adapt the structural conditions of Basic Health Units for most Brazilian capitals in some of the aspects analyzed, with worse results for physical structure and equipment. Based on the analysis of municipal health plans, particularities, strengths, and weaknesses were evidenced that deserve to be considered for defining the agenda and directing actions by health management. The identified conditions of inadequacy can have a negative impact on the quality of care for persons suffering from diabetes in Primary Health Care
