n Morocco, as in the rest of the world, diabetes represents a major challenge for public health authorities, given the growing
share of this disease and its complications in the future years. A balanced diet and a regular and moderate physical activity is
recommended for peoplewith this disease.This practicewouldhelp toachieve theprimary goal of treatment: preventingor delaying
microvascular andmacrovascular complications. However, diabetics aremore likely to develop psychological problems compared
to people without diabetes, which poses a new challenge. Using a broad vision of several aspects of diabetes management, the
first part of this research was to identify and evaluate the different axes of management (dietary habits, physical activity, etc.), this
assessment allowed us to reveal the various limits to the improvement of the quality of life of these diabetics. In the light of these
results, two interventions were carried out: a nutritional educational intervention to compare the strategy of collective nutrition
education used in health centers and another personalized approach, personalized education impact significantly more positively
the patient’s glycemic profile. The second intervention concerned a new aspect, which is the psychology of the diabetic patient,
and the impact of a psychologist’s psychological focus on the glycemic profile and self-perception, the results of this latter study
was very satisfactory because there was a direct correlation between the improvement in self-esteem and the balance of the
patient’s glycemic profile. Glycemic indicators and diabetic status were improved by the different interventions. This integrated
approach need to be implement at large scale in national health strategy.
