Background: Management of diabetes remains a challenge in Africa. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the glycemic control in diabetics patients with diabetes in Gabon sub-Saharan country. Methods: This study involving 87 diabetic patients (Men25 ; Women : 62) were investigated anthropometric parametres, glycemic control and biochemical profil. Results: All our results show that with an average age of 53±11.02 years diabetic Gabonese patients present a poor glycemic control (P <0.0001): Glycemia (Control: 4.95 ± 1.16 mmol/l vs Diabetic : 10.27 ± 4.47 mmol/l) ; HbA1c (Control : 5.05 ± 0.46% vs Diabetics : 7.40 ± 2.36%) associated with a hepatic steatosis : Alat ( Alat : Control: 17.25 ± 13.7u/l vs Diabetic: 25.84 ± 13.19 u/l), Asat (Control: 18 ± 13.20 u/l vs Diabetic: 36.93 ± 17.87 u/l). Conclusion: Is evidence, a high proportion of patients with diabetes remains poorly controlled. This is the case in Gabon diabetic patients.
