AB  - Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease that modifies the body’s glucose metabolism. Although glucose is a vital energy source for body cells, individuals with diabetes can either not use insulin efficiently or do not create enough of this hormone, which controls blood sugar. This review aimed to explore the multi-target treatment for diabetes. This study investigates explicitly recent reports published in peer-reviewed journals indexed in various databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Individuals with diabetes are more likely to experience other health issues, such as elevated blood pressure and cholesterol. Environmental factors that can influence the onset of diabetes include air pollution, temperature and weather, and stress. With the shortage of diabetes specialists and healthcare experts coupled with an inefficient healthcare service in low- and middle-income nations, there is a need to introduce more creative approaches to treat diabetes. Although literature reveals that no one-size-fits-all method is available for managing diabetes because each person's reaction to the disease varies depending on several factors, such as the diabetes stage and the person’s susceptibility to complications, this study posits that there could be a headway in diabetes management by exploring multi-targets treatment. Introducing lifestyle change, diet modification and physical activity could reduce the risk of death due to diabetes. This study also highlights how diabetes can be managed in the rural and urban settings. Adopting telemedicine and web-based initiatives could impact diabetes treatment positively.
