Cardiometabolic profile of type 2 diabetic subjects in Libreville

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is the chronic metabolic disease associated with cardiovascular, renal and neurological complications, responsible for morbidity and mortality. In addition, the incidence of cardiovascular disease was 10.3 out of 1000 type 2 diabetics per year in low-income countries like Gabon. Thus, this work was setup to determine the cardiometabolic profile of type 2 diabetic subjects in Libreville.
