摘要

Introduction: Considering the global burden of diabetes and lack of specialist in diabetology in our subsaharian area, general practitioners (GPs) play a major role as first referent for care of diabetic people. The aim of this work was to describe knowledge, attitudes and practices of GPs related to management of type 2 diabetes. Patients and Methods: It was about a transversal and descriptive survey held between July 14, 2015 and November 1st, 2015 in the medical districts and public corporations of health of Dakar in Senegal. Results: The population of study was made of 107 males and 40 females GPs. The majority (82.8%) was graduated since less than five years. Hygienic and dietetic measures (HDM) were known and commonly recommended by 77.60% of GPs in their daily practice. The caloric intakes were known by 21.1%. The 30 min of physical activity per day three times in the week was advised by 91.20%. Monotherapy with metformine associated with HDM was prescribed by 76.90%. Bitherapy with metformine and sulfonylureas associated to HDM were prescribed by 39.50%. Concerning insulin therapy, mixed insulin twice daily associated with rapid insulin before lunch was prescribed by 49.7%. Use of rapid acting insulin with three injections before each meal was prescribed by 36.10%. Treatment of the other cardiovascular risk factors was addressed by 97.30%. Smoking cessation was advised by 37.40%. Use of sweetened drink and intravenous glucose were most adopted in case of hypoglycemia, and use of glucagon was adopted by 23.10%. To improve the diabetic retinopathy 61.2% of GPs recommended tight control of other cardiovascular risk factors. Rigorous glycemic control and regular physical activity were recommended for painful neuropathy beside analgesics. Smoking cessation was also recommended by 61.90% for that. Against obstructive arterial disease of the lower extremities, tight control of blood pressure was recommended by 69.40% Conclusion: It comes out from these results the need for reinforcing post graduate trainings on
