摘要

French Guiana is a territory located more than 7000 km from France.It is also the largest French territory,with almost 84000 km2 and 90%of it is covered by forest.Some municipalities are isolated due to the scarcity of transportation and the poor road infrastructure.The population is extremely diverse ethnically and culturally,and includes more than thirty ethnic groups.Immigration is high because it is one of the richest countries in the area bordering northern Brazil,Suriname,Guyana,and as a result of socio-economic crises in some other countries such as Haiti,and it has permeable natural borders.Diabetes and obesity,are emerging issues,with double the prevalence of Mainland France,whereas infectious diseases,such as HIV,take second place.Therapeutic and educational management are challenging because they require the adaptation of tools and treatments to the multiculturalism and precariousness often encountered in these populations.The French and European recommendations are unsuited to the needs of the territory and must take into account the epidemiological,sociological and cultural parameters of these populations in order to provide appropriate and graded management of diabetes in the French Amazon.
