Abstract

As in other parts of the world, the frequency of diabetes in tropical areas is steadily increasing, and primarily concerns type 2 diabetes. The prevalence is expected to increase from 1.1% in 1995 for the sub-Saharan African population to 1.3% in 2025. It seemed appropriate to us to carry out this study to assess the level of knowledge of diabetes by the heads of household living in the posh cities of the commune of Cocody. We conducted a cross-sectional study that took place in 5 posh cities of the commune of Cocody in Abidjan from December 2018 to March 2019, i.e. a period of 04 months. During the 4 months of data collection, 145 person agreed to participate in the study. The 28-35 age group was the most represented (33,8%) with a male predominance (sex ratio = 1.3), a predominantly higher level of education (82.8%). They had three or fewer children (84,0%). The subjects regularly consumed alcohol (45.5%) or soda (76.6%) and were not physically active (58%), observed no dietary restriction (77.2%), and had tested their blood sugar at least once (44.4%). A correct definition of diabetes was reported (95,1%). They knew of diabetes: at least one sign in 34.7% of cases, at least one complication in 23.6% of cases and at least one risk factor in 31.3% of cases. Adults were the most at risk (49.4%). The respondents' good knowledge of signs, complications and risk factors contrasted with their risky lifestyle habits.
