Background: In the majority of developing countries, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are booming at the expense of communicable diseases that generally affect poor and middle-income countries. An epidemiological study was carried out in two health institutions: the International Center for Medical Research in Franceville and the Amissa Bongo Hospital Center in Franceville (Haute-Ogooue/ Gabon). Methods: Were included in the study, patients having a blood glucose≥7 mmol/L for glucose measurement. Demographic parameters and socio-occupational criteria were recorded for each patient. Results: The results of this study show a prevalence of diabetics 11.78%. The study also showed that diabetes affects more men than women (p=2.10-7, odds ratio=2.1). The most exposed age group being 41 to 60 years. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for this disease with respectively 44.10% and 45.5% of diabetic patients, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease The analysis of socio-professional criteria, showed that the most vulnerable are workers, farmers, housekeepers and unemployed (p=1.92.10-5, odds ratio=2.4). Conclusions: Ultimately it would be necessary to set up a program to fight against non-communicable diseases and to create an observatory for better supervision of young people and pregnant women for taking health early account of this disease finally create the conditions for struggle against poverty.
