%X Nowadays, chronic clinical manifestations of diabetemellitus constitute an important disease and a huge public health issue. <strong>Aim:</strong> Study the macroangiopathic complications in type 2 diabetics. Method: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical aim covering the period from January 2019 to December 31, 2021 in the Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition clinic of the National Teaching Hospital Hubert Koutoukou Maga (CNHU-HKM) We thus identified 150 type 2 diabetic patients. <strong>Results:</strong> The prevalence of macroangiopathy was 60% with 11.3% for stroke, 28.6% for acute coronary syndrom, 4% for cervical macroangiopathy, and 46.97% ¡À 25.36% for obliterating arteriopathy of the lower limbs (OALL). The mean age of the patients was 57.69 ¡À 1.77 years with a sex ratio 1. The duration of diabetes progression was greater than 10 years for more than half of the patients 52.6%. The main associated cardiovascular risk factors were arterial high blood pressure (64.7%), family history of diabetes (33.7%), obesity with 20.0%. The death rate was 7.3%. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Macroangiopathy¡¯s mortality rate of in type 2 diabetics is high. Prevention remains the best treatment and involves screening for factors associated with macroangiopathy.
