Population ageing marks the status of Cuban population, influencing in a particular form on noncommunicable diseases, specifically diabetes mellitus (DM). The incidence of this disease is high, which has been combined since many years ago to the structure of diseases and incidence indicators of noncommunicable ones. Therefore it is possible to think about a relationship between both factors. The objective of this article is to describe the situation of population with diabetes from a demographical and epidemiological perspective. The research is classified as a descriptive study based on annual reports with statistical information of public health indicators of the country from 2000 to 2013, and also publications and national researches related to the population and diabetes mellitus disease. According to it, the following results were found: in the country, demographical evolution has strongly determined. On the other hand, epidemiological analysis shows the reduction of transmissible diseases and an increase of noncommunicable ones, especially DM. The indicators behavior of DM Type 1 and 2 reflects a great relationship with population evolution. It is also observed an increase of death rate despite the multiple health activities done. As a conclusion it can be said that the population ageing has its impact on DM structure, which is going to cause significant effects on the health services provision.
