| Study | Nursing Education Focus in Relation to Diabetes | Role of Nursing Education in Diabetes Patient Outcomes |
| Li et al. (2024) | Health education competence, continuous education, knowledge, skills, and personal attributes. | Diabetes specialist nurses demonstrated moderate to high levels of health education knowledge, skills, and attitudes, but lacked educational skills. |
| Joseph et al. (2024) | Diabetes education during dialysis sessions, using intermittent continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) | Improved glycaemic control, increased diabetes knowledge, better engagement with diabetes care |
| Diriba et al. (2024) | Nurse-led self-management education and support programme | Improved self-management behaviors with large effect sizes immediately post-intervention and at 2 months follow-up. Enhanced diabetes-related self- management skills. |
| Tamiru et al. (2023) | Diabetes self-management education (DSME) focusing on self-care knowledge and behaviors. | Significant improvement in self-care knowledge and self-care behavior after nurse-led DSME. |
| McGrath et al. (2023) | Diabetes care, medical management, and behavioral approaches to self-management | Graduates reported high preparedness in diabetes care, with significant predictors being regular continuing education and years since graduation. High preparedness and camp involvement were linked to better care abilities. |

| Wang et al.

| Guo et al. (2022) | Systematic diet education combined with multidisciplinary nursing | Improved nutritional status, better calcium and phosphorus metabolism, enhanced compliance, reduced anxiety |
| Hailu et al. (2021) | Nurse-led diabetes self- management education (DSME) | Education was reported to help manage stress and depressive symptoms, but no significant difference in clinical outcomes was found |

| Huang et al. (2021) | Nurse-led online education for insulin therapy | Improved blood glucose control, reduced insulin dosage, increased knowledge and compliance rates |
| Daly, Arroll, & Scragg (2021) | Diabetes management education for primary health care nurses | Education associated with better management practices and nurses feeling more valued |
| Gianfrancesco & Johnson (2019) | Provision of diabetes nutrition education in primary care settings | Addressed gaps in knowledge and skills, highlighted the need for structured support and training for nurses, and identified time constraints as a major barrier |
| Liu et al. (2019) | Culturally sensitive nurse-led structured education programme | Significant improvements in diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management behaviors, and clinical outcomes such as A1C, fasting blood glucose, and LDL |
