Diabetes is a pandemic that continues to worry about Governments and health policy makers. It is ranked at the top of chronic diseases that threaten global health with 371 million cases reported by the International Federation of diabetes in 2012. A big percentage of diabetics (80%) exist in developing countries and Morocco is one among them. Diabetes care and medical treatment arrangement are among the several constraints to fight this pandemic in the world in general and the Morocco specifically. This paper is a review on the situation of diabetes in Morocco, its extent, evolution and its complications as well as the disease care and management.
