N1 - 49 N2 - Objective: To examine educational practices in type 2 diabetes among health professionals. Methods: A cross-sectional study took place from June to September 2012 in Bamako and Ouagadougou. The study population consisted of all health professionals responsible for diabetes care in secondary and tertiary public health facilities. Results: A total of 78 participants were interviewed. Doctors and nurses accounted for 77% and 23% respectively. The median number of patients seen in consultation was 10 per week (range 1-100). The median age of experience in diabetes care for health professionals was 5 years (range: 1-25 years). Sixteen participants reported giving advice for cooking. Of the 62 that did not, the reasons given were mainly: non-competence to give such advice (60/62); lack of time (35/62) and useless counseling (5/62). For out-of-home meals, recommendations included: taking a meal to work (60/77); avoiding meals outside the home (30/77); avoid alcohol and oils at parties (10/77). Conclusion: The recommendations made to patients come down to information and advice. As a result, the data collected lacks an educational strategy that aims to render the patient more independent by facilitating his adherence to counseling and improving his quality of life UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-sante-publique-2018-5-page-713?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
