Abstract  
Diabetes represents a major public health problem and exposes to serious complications such as cardiovascular, renal, ocular,  
neurological diseases and sometimes wounds which are difficult to heal leading in the most extreme cases to amputation. The  
objective of this work is therefore to carry out an evaluation of certain biological parameters (fasting blood sugar, urea, total  
cholesterol, HDL, creatinine, uric acid), and hematological (white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets) in diabetic patients. the rabat-  
sale region and to find out which type of diabetic is the most distributed in this region so that in the end we will raise awareness among  
the entire population to make periodic analyzes in order to draw lessons and offer recommendations. The study of this work focused  
on 40 diabetic patients, including 8 type 1 diabetic patients and 32 type 2 diabetic patients. After that we took blood samples for  
biological analyzes. According to the study, we found that the number of type 2 diabetics (80%) is higher than that of type 1 diabetics  
(
(
20%), the number of women is greater than the number of men and the majority diabetic patients in our population are hypertensive  
70%). Our results also show that in type 2 diabetics the average rates of all parameters (fasting blood sugar, urea, creatinine and uric  
acid) are lower than those recorded in type 1 diabetics. Total cholesterol and HDL in type 2 diabetics are higher than those recorded in  
type 1 diabetics. This study shows that our patients do not have a problem of bacterial infection or rheumatism because almost all the  
values of creatinine, urea, uric acid, total cholesterol and the level of white blood cells are normal and also shows, the absence of  
cardiovascular and renal complications. But our study also showed that total cholesterol, urea and creatinine increase with age, and  
people between the ages of 60 and 75 are more at risk than others. The study of this work shows that the number of women who have  
diabetes is greater than the number of men and most of these people have chronic diseases, so to avoid serious complication on a  
health scale, we must therefore to sensitize and educate the populations to make periodic analyzes, to make sport activities and food  
rigime to finally reduce the rate of diabetic diseases.

of pregnant women [6]. It manifests itself as an increase in  
1
blood glucose towards the end of the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of  
pregnancy. In the majority of cases, it disappears after  
delivery. Diabetes is recognized today, supported by figures  
like a global epidemic and a tsunami whose human, social and  
economic consequences are devastating. In Morocco, the  
latest national figures exceed 10% for people over the age of  
Diabetes is a chronic disease that cannot be cured, but can  
be treated and controlled. It is caused by a lack or lack of use  
of a hormone called insulin. When there is a lack of insulin, or  
when it does not perform its function effectively, as is the case  
in a person with diabetes, glucose cannot be used as a fuel for  
cells. It then accumulates in the blood and causes an increase  
in sugar level (hyperglycemia). In the long run, high blood  
sugar causes complications, including eye, kidney, nerve,  
heart and blood vessel complications [1, 2].  
There are different types of diabetes: prediabetes, type 1  
diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and other rarer  
types; Type 1 diabetes, accounts for 10 to 15% of diabetes  
cases [3]. It occurs most often in a non-obese subject before  
the age of 30 [4]. Diabetes type 2 known as fatty or mature  
diabetes, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is  
a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic excess of blood  
sugar (hyperglycemia) [5]. The peripheral use of sugar in the  
cells: insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, allows cells to  
collect and use glucose. Gestational Diabetes affects 3 to 20%  
2
0 years. And if we consider the age groups beyond 50 years,  
the prevalence exceeds 14%. Thus, today around two million  
people suffer from diabetes in our country [7]. diabetes is one  
of the worst health calamities in Morocco which costs  
millions of dirhams at the state coffers, each year, 500,000  
people at risk in primary health care establishments including  
people with a history 1st degree family (father or mother) with  
diabetes. Worse, almost 50% of all diabetics are unaware of  
their disease.  
Main objective of the study is concerned with three goals:  
(
a) to determine the distribution of diabetic patients by type of  
diabetes, sex, age and presence or absence of hypertension;  
b) a comparison of different biochemical parameters (fasting  
(
glucose, urea, total cholesterol, HDL, creatinine, uric acid)  
between type 1 diabetics and type 2 diabetics; (c) a  
comparison of the different cellular elements of blood which  
are white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets between  
type 1 diabetics and type 2 diabetics; and (d) do a lot of

.1 Distribution of patients  
.1.1 According to the distribution by type of diabetes  
According to the type of diabetes, the statistical study of  
this work showed that the group of diabetic patients are  
divided into 20% of type 1 diabetics (8 patients) and 80% of  
type 2 diabetics (32 patients) [15], because the number of  
people with type 2 diabetes increases rapidly at worldwide,  
this increase is associated with economic development, aging  
populations, increased urbanization, dietary changes and  
decreased physical activity and other changes in lifestyle. The  
results of this study reveal a higher number of type 2 diabetics  
than that of type 1 diabetics (Figure 1).

their main objective is to control their health, which explains  
the predominance of women (Fig 2) for these reasons we  
found that the number of women with diabetes higher than

Figure 3: Distribution of diabetic patients by age  
The results show that the percentage of type 2 diabetics  
and the average age of this population are higher compared to  
the percentage of people with type 1 diabetes because the  
number of people with type 2 diabetes increases rapidly across  
the population. In the world, this increase is associated with  
economic development, aging populations, increased  
urbanization, changes in diet and reduced physical activity,  
and other lifestyle changes [4]. Internationally, the increase in  
the prevalence of diabetes is observed worldwide, in both  
industrialized and developing countries [18]. The number of

are around 14 million more than women in our population we  
found the opposite is say that the number of diabetic women is

the urea value, so it is noticed that the urea rate increases with  
age so the patients might have a kidney and cardiovascular  
problem in the future. So age in patients with diabetes seems  
like a cardiovascular and renal risk factor [23]  
The result of the distribution of patients according to the  
presence of arterial hypertension is grouped in Figure 4. This  
result shows that 70% of diabetic patients are hypertensive  
therefore most diabetic diseases have chronic patients.

Type 2 diabetics have a slightly higher average fasting

indicate that type 2 diabetics have a higher fasting glucose  
level (1.93) however the study shows that the glucose level in  
type 1 diabetics is 1.49 (Tab.2). These two values are not  
normal (0.7 - 1.10) (g / l), according to who these fasting  
glucose values remain fluctuating and unstable at some  
patients but no significant differences between one type of  
diabetes and another (Fig.5) [21].

our study shows that the two average creatinine values in the  
two types of diabetic are normal (6-12 mg / l).  
diabetics (0.32) is higher than that in type 2 diabetics (0.25)

From this result we noticed that the creatinine  
concentrations increase with age and the creatinine  
concentrations in people over 60 years are more than that  
recorded in people under 60 years [24]. (Figure 7).

In our population, we have noticed that cholesterol levels  
increase with age, and people between the ages of 65 and 80  
have higher cholesterol levels than others. (Fig 7-8), we note  
here that we recorded that the result of total cholesterol in  
diabetic patients is normal, it can be said that our patients are  
aware of the disadvantages of cholesterol on health more  
precisely cardiovascular diseases and kidney failure and the  
second thing may be that our patients stick to their diet so it's  
a conscious and educated society.

.9 Total cholesterol  
Total cholesterol (abbreviation CT) includes HDL  
cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. It is often the first  
assessment requested by the doctor. The results should  
generally have a rate less than or equal to 2.00 g / l, with  
certain tolerances depending on the age of the patient. The  
total cholesterol results of our study show that the average  
total cholesterol in type 2 diabetics is 1.93, it seems higher  
than that of type 1 diabetics (1.61) [25]. The results show that,  
in type two diabetics, the average levels of all the parameters

mean uric acid (66.91 mg/l) higher than that of type 2  
diabetics (48.88 mg/l). It is noted here that both values are  
normal (35 - 70) (mg / l). It should be noted that the analysis  
of the uric acid concentration will make it possible to detect  
the risk of gout disease or evaluate the functioning of the  
kidneys [27].  
those recorded in type 1 diabetics. On the other hand, mean  
levels of cholesterol total and HDL in type 2 diabetics are  
higher than those seen in type 1 diabetics. In the population, it  
is noticed that cholesterol levels increase with age, and people  
aged 65 to 80 have a higher cholesterol level than others. (Fig  
8
), it is noted here that after recording the result of total  
cholesterol in diabetic patients is normal [26].

It is concluded that in type 2 diabetics the average levels  
of all the parameters (fasting glucose, urea, creatinine and uric  
acid) are lower than those recorded in type 1 diabetics. On the  
other hand, the average levels of total cholesterol and HDL in  
type 2 diabetics are higher than those in type 1 diabetics,  
which probably accounted for the absence of cardiovascular  
complications in these patients and age is considered a risk  
factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases.

.9 HDL cholesterol  
HDL cholesterol is composed of lipoproteins that carry  
cholesterol from the arteries to the liver. It is often called  
good cholesterol" because it helps prevent the build up of  
cholesterol in the blood vessels. HDL results show that the  
average HDL value in type 2 diabetics (0,50 mg/l) is higher  
than the average HDL value in type 1 diabetics (0,36 mg/l)

The study of hematological analyzes shows that the two

The work was carried out on a population of 40 diabetic  
indicates whether there is bacterial infection or an  
a
people, we observed a slight difference in mean values of each  
parameter tested between the two types of diabetes. Our  
results show that in type 2 diabetics the average levels of all  
parameters (fasting glucose, urea, creatinine and uric acid) are  
lower than those recorded in type 1 diabetics. However,  
average cholesterol levels total and HDL in type 2 diabetics  
are higher than those recorded in type 1 diabetics, which  
probably explained the absence of cardiovascular  
complications in the latter. Our results show that age appears  
to be a risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. The  
white blood cell, red blood cell and platelet count results show  
that our patients do not have a problem with bacterial  
infection, rheumatism, anemia or blood clotting. These results  
demonstrate the impact of diabetes on the human body. It is a  
painful disease for the patient, with sometimes dramatic  
repercussions on the physiological balance. People with  
diabetes must do an analysis of many biochemical parameters  
inflammatory syndrome, such as rheumatism. This study  
shows that our patients do not have these complications [29].

.13 The rate of red blood cells  
Hematological analyzes show that type 1 diabetics have a  
slightly higher average red blood cell count of 4.72 compared  
to 4.39 for type 2 diabetics (Tab. 3), but both values are  
normal (4- 5.3 x109 / l). This result shows that our patients do  
not have anemia problem.

.14 The platelet count  
The platelet count results show that the average value of  
platelet count in type 2 diabetics (250.66) is higher than the  
average value of platelet count in type 1 diabetics (238).  
Generally, if the platelet count is low, it can disrupt the blood  
clotting process in the event of a hemorrhage [30]. These  
values are normal.  
(blood sugar level, lipid balance, renal balance ... etc.)  
regularly and several times a year in order to carry out a  
diagnosis and proper monitoring of their disease. The diabetic  
patient must follow a healthy lifestyle mainly by adapting  
food and increasing physical activity to live better with  
diabetes. Our study shows that the average urea level in type 1  
diabetics (0.32) is higher than that in type 2 diabetics (0.25)  
but the two values remain normal (0.20-0 , 50), high urea in

and therefore in renal failure. This study remains preliminary,  
it requires other in-depth studies. In this context, it would be  
interesting to continue the research by undertaking work on a  
larger population to seek the factors which influence diabetes  
disease in order to ultimately raise awareness and reduce the  
number of diabetic populations in people of the world.
