Introduction: Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by persistently high blood glucose levels resulting from decreased insulin secretion and/or activity. It is encountered in all age groups, especially adults. However, it can constitute difficulties in obtaining a job because of the appearance of its possible complications which can modify the physical capacities of diabetic workers. The aim of this study was to study diabetes among workers in breweries in Conakry. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of descriptive and analytical type with a duration of 6 months, from July 1 to December 31, 2021, which included all the workers in the breweries that had an infirmary. Results: 13.1% of the workers had diabetes with a male predominance of 92.7% and a sex ratio of 12.67. Most of the workers were manual workers (65.8%) and also had an occupational seniority ranging from 1 to 10 years. Type 2 diabetes was dominant (90.2%) and 64.6% of the workers had poor diabetes follow-up. Hypertension, metabolic syndrome, male gender, work breaks, work rhythm and work schedule were statistically significant with diabetes follow-up with respective P-values of 0.04; 0.03; 0.01; 0.001 and 0.00. Conclusion: The diabetes-work interrelationship is multiple and depends on the disease profile and workstation characteristics. Our study shows that the frequency of diabetes in breweries in Conakry is not negligible, i.e. 13.1%. Shift work, irregular meal times, non-compliance with the diabetic diet and physical workload are among the factors influencing regular monitoring of diabetes in the workplace.
