Materials and Methods: In the search for scientific literature for this review, data from the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and SportDiscus were used, and the terms ‘’ self-management skills’’, diabetes mellitus’’.’’ metabolic health’’. “regular physical activity’’ was used. The relevant literature has also taken its source from the research of relevant articles from reference lists derived from data searches. Results: Diabetes mellitus is a complex condition that involves some different processes, including insulin secretion, insulin action, and glucose metabolism. It would be beneficial to continue researching the various aspects of diabetes management and to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of this disease. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus is a condition that requires a multifaceted approach to management. It involves dysfunction in insulin secretion, insulin action, and glucose metabolism. Empowering individuals with the skills to manage this metabolic health problem can contribute to significant health benefits in the prevention and treatment of this disease.
