Abstract: Diabetes mellitus has become a global epidemic, with an increasing number of individuals affected by this chronic metabolic disorder. Effective management of diabetes requires a comprehensive self-care approach, which encompasses various aspects like monitoring blood glucose levels, adherence to medication, modifications in lifestyle, and regular healthcare monitoring. Innovative techniques for bettering diabetic self-care management have been developed recently as a result of developments in technology and healthcare systems. This comprehensive review examines the modern methods that have emerged to enhance diabetes self-care management systems. The review focuses on the integration of technology, Behavioural Change Techniques (BCTs), behavioural health theories such as Transtheoretical Model (TTM), the Health Belief Model (HBM), Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behaviour (TPB), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) techniques to promote optimal diabetes care outcomes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 standards were followed in this research's documentation. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) period, which covered 2009 to 2020, was used to acquire the most recent complete review. Overall, the SLR results show that self-care interventions have a favourable impact on behaviours modification, the encouragement of good lifestyle habits, the lowering of blood glucose scales, and the accomplishment of significant weight loss. According to the review's findings, treatments for diabetic self-management that included behavioural health theories and BCTs in their creation tended to be more successful. In order to assist academics and practitioners with the creation of future applications, the restriction and future direction were finally defined. After recognising the potential for combining BCT methodologies and theories, it creates self-management interventions. Depending on these recognised cutting-edge mechanisms, the current SLR can assist application developers create a model to construct efficient self-care interventions for diabetes.
