Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the assimilation, use and storage of sugars provided by food, its management is ensured by monitoring overweight and obesity and regular glycemic control. 
 Methods: The study took place over a period of one year from January to December 2015.The evaluation of overweight and obesity was carried out by calculating the Body Mass Index, weight and height were measured according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), Glycemic control was performed by blood analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose. 
 Results: The age range of patients is between 8 months and 80 years, with a dominance of diabetics from urban areas (74%) compared to those from rural areas (26%). Overweight affects all of this population. The average BMI of women tends towards obesity (IMC?30): (29.21 Kg / m 2 ± 3.1) for gestational diabetes and (29.15 Kg / m 2± 3.2) for type 2 diabetes. The glycemic control values are above the norms. The difference between the values of glycosylated hemoglobin between men (8.5 7% ± 2.6) and women (8.1% ± 2.3) is not significant (P> 0.05)
 Conclusion:All diabetics have BMI and glycemic control values above the norms. In-depth research is needed on these diabetics in order to establish an urgent program of remediation.

Diabetes by definition can be grouped into two major types: type 1 diabetes called insulin-dependent diabetes which is caused by the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, the inability of the affected person to secrete insulin [ 4 ]; type 2 diabetes, called diabetes mellitus, which is characterized by resistance to insulin and which results in a chronic rise in the concentration of glucose in the blood [ 5 ]
Summary
Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the assimilation, use and storage of sugars provided by food, its management is ensured by monitoring overweight and obesity and regular glycemic control. Diabetes is a major public health problem due to its increasing prevalence more than 356 million people in the world have diabetes, this figure is likely to be doubled by the year 2030. Diabetes by definition can be grouped into two major types: type 1 diabetes called insulin-dependent diabetes which is caused by the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, the inability of the affected person to secrete insulin [ 4 ]; type 2 diabetes, called diabetes mellitus, which is characterized by resistance to insulin and which results in a chronic rise in the concentration of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) [ 5 ]. The absence of an effective treatment can cause different complications: namely retinopathy; nephropathy, heart disease and amputations, the need for lifelong treatment, through glycemic control, which will improve the quality of life of patients
