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.

Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, the connected dietary habits, and the association with glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We studied 2562 participants. The dietary habits were assessed with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire. Sex-specific quartiles of pasta consumption were created in order to explore the study aims. Results: A higher pasta consumption was associated with a lower intake of proteins, total and saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugar, and fiber. Glucose control, body mass index, prevalence of obesity, and visceral obesity were not significantly different across the quartiles of pasta intake. No relation was found with LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, but there was an inverse relation with HDL-cholesterol. Systolic blood pressure increased with pasta consumption; but this relation was not confirmed after correction for confounders. Conclusions: In people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, within the limits recommended for total carbohydrates intake, is not associated with worsening of glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors.
