Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, sometimes silent disease that exposes cardio-vascular morbidities by its micro and macroangiopathic complications with heavy socio-economic repercussions. Strategies of various kinds are put in place to contain this metabolic and nutritional pathology; hygiene and dietary measures participate in this program to fight against the outbreak and worsening of the diabetic disease.

We wanted in this study to make an inventory of places concerning the therapeutic education, the knowledge of the patients on the disease and the hygienic-dietary rules which should accompany any therapeutic scheme for an optimal control of the evolution of the diabetes. The socio-economic and school level, the food beliefs and the non-access to a specialized consultation, translate the non-observance of the hygienic-dietary measures which cause difficulties optimal control of diabetes.
