“…In Algeria, DM frequency varies from 1.3% in the Southern areas, where people are lean because of hard conditions of life[ 2 ] to 8%,[ 3 ] 14%[ 4 ] and 16%[ 5 ] in the Northern cities where physical activity is reduced and obesity and metabolic syndrome are increasing in adults[ 6 ] and children[ 7 8 ] because of eating disorders. Overweight and obesity in our country are positively correlated with total energy, fat and saturated fatty acid intakes.…”

Ramadan, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a holy month in Algeria where diabetes mellitus (DM) is more frequent in urban areas with a frequency which varies from 8 to 16%. DM complications are broadly as frequent as in developed countries, except for neuropathy which seems more frequent. Despite contraindications which are regularly explained to our patients and despite the flexible side of Islam toward chronic diseases, most Algerian people with DM insist on fasting. Not fasting is considered a sin and shameful. There are also other reasons put forward by diabetic persons, such as very strong religious faith, habit of fasting together with the whole family since an early age, solidarity with the family, friends, and neighbors, and finally and probably because of the desire to appear “normal” and share a festive and a spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan. As in other Muslim countries, severe hypoglycemia the main motive of hospitalizations during the holy month, ketoacidosis, dehydration, orthostatic hypotension and thrombosis are some of the complications which Algerian people with DM are exposed to when fasting.

“…Hence, in Algeria as in South Asia,[ 34 ] low literacy, traditions of eating a lot of bread, sugary, salty and fatty food, the consideration for obesity added to consanguineous marriages and lack of sport multiply the risk for DM, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome in both sexes but, especially in women. [ 35 ] In our streets one can be shocked by people with metabolic syndrome, especially people in young age and children, but women are more affected. Different studies showed that obesity in adults and children is due to eating disorders,[ 35 36 37 38 ] especially in urban areas.…”

Background:Nowadays diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the greatest global challenges. Its expansion varies from an area to another according to genetic, traditions, socio-economic conditions, and stress. In Algeria, as in other emerging countries undergoing an epidemiological transition, noncommunicable diseases are sharply increasing. After high blood pressure, DM is now the second metabolic disease. But are women more concerned by DM since obesity frequency is higher in females? Can we assert that there is a sort of sex discrimination for DM complications?Materials and Methods:To answer these questions we took into account published documents carried in Algerian population. But, as those were very scarce, we also considered newspapers articles, some documents published by health minister department, posters and oral communications of the Algerian Society of Endocrinology and Diabetology, and our clinical experience. We also have done a small survey to get our patients’ opinions.Results and Conclusion:At the first sight, it seems gender discrimination between men and women cannot exist since most epidemiological studies showed that both sexes are broadly and equally affected by DM, except for old aged females who are the most affected. When we reconsidered the problem, and when we compared past results to those obtained after the terrorism period, many studies showed a sort of gender difference. Apart from gestational DM, which is increasing sharply, some complications and death related to DM are prevailing in women. Coronary diseases and cerebral vascular accidents are more frequent in women too, especially the young ones and those suffering from DM. These complications are probably due to the recent and rapid modification in women's lifestyle with a strong reduction in physical activity, eating disorders, hormonal contraception, and high sensitivity to perceived stress secondary to the near past stressing life and/or to numerous responsibilities taken by women in the modern society.
