The aim of the current study was to assess cardiovascular risk (modifiable and non-modifiable factors) in type 2 diabetics, living in Tlemcen and Saida (West Algeria) on a group of 315 diabetics type 2 of which; 160 patients in the Tlemcen region (64% man and 96 % woman) and 155 patients in the Saida region (90 % man and 65% woman) (western Algeria) during the period of December 2018 - May 2019. Filling of a questionnaire for patients on dietary habits, socio-economic factors, with anthropometric parameters such as weight, height and Body Mass Index were measured as well as lifestyle, a biochemical assessment was carried out and an assessment of the nutritional contributions during 24 hours were made. The results of our study showed that the frequencies of cardiovascular risk factors in the patients studied are probably related to lifestyle (smoking) more than 80% were females with family history including diabetes and hypertensia. 30% were overweight, Glycated hemoglobin level was above the recommended value in both sexes which represents one of the cardiovascular risk factors, energy imbalance and high calorie foods are also recorded in our population. Our study showed a positive relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and type 2 diabetes. The Type 2 Diabetic Population living in Tlemcen and Saida Area was Highly Exposed to Cardiovascular Risk Factors. For better management of our diabetics, we recommend: Launch a national prevention program with well-structured objectives based on information on nutrition, dietetics and healthy living among patients at risk through associations in public health.

Despite advances in the management of cardiovascular diseases, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing both in developed and developing world. This phenomenon is associated with the worldwide pandemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes; both are related to the life style of urbanization. The association between life conduct of civilization and chronic stress resulting in augmentation of cardiovascular risk is detailed. Therapeutic policy practiced nowadays (polypill administration, achieving target values) in order to reduce cardiovascular risk is criticized. Primary causal role of chronic stress and life style, and secondary resultant nature of cardiovascular risk factors are stressed out in the pathogenesis of increased cardiovascular risk; therefore, limited value of an approach focusing on the management of cardiovascular risk factors, instead of targeting the primary cause, i.e. chronic stress and life conduct is emphasized. A short account is given about the similarities and dissimilarities in the pathogenesis of macro- and microangiopathy. The primary causal role of chronic stress in fetal and adult diabetes, furthermore possible triggers evoking chronic stress is discussed. Supportive experimental and clinical data are reported about the nature of basic metabolic dysregulation (dysmetabolism) in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Besides the well documented significance of ischemic clinical manifestations of diabetes, the role of non-ischemic diabetic cardiomyopathy as an independent risk factor in evoking the total burden of cardiovascular risk in diabetes is emphasized. In reducing the cardiovascular risk in diabetics the management of high blood pressure and dyslipidemia is more effective compared to that of hyperglycemia. Besides managing cardiovascular risk factors, the successful treatment of dysmetabolism is importantly needed to eliminate the total excessive cardiovascular risk in diabetes. In order to achieve this goal the potential role of metabolic promoters is stressed out. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 1353–1361.
