title: [Public financial support of research on diabetes in France].
abstract: The financial support of any kind of research reveals the interest of a country in a disease. Does the diabetes represent a priority in France? The answer is difficult because the lack of analytical approach of the resources devoted to medical research. For example, many basic works (physiology of metabolism, lipids, different hormones etc.) are not officially referred to diabetes. Moreover when diabetes is a key word of an unit it general only a part of this unit is concerned. The results were provided mainly by CNRS and INSERM and they must be compared to the financial weight of this disease for the collectivity. This evaluation remains imprecise.
