Abstract	Background: The number of people with diabetes continues to increase, and the inability to control blood glucose increases the risk of complications, morbidity, and mortality. Diabetes mellitus requires lifelong self-care management to keep blood glucose levels within normal limits and reduce the risk of complications. One effective self-care management strategy is the alphabet strategy, which is proven to improve glycemic control. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the alphabet strategy in improving outcomes for individuals with diabetes. Methods: This systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We searched four major databases ScienceDirect, PubMed, Springer, and Wiley using keywords defined by the PICO framework. Results: The findings indicated a significant reduction in HbA1c levels, a decrease in systolic blood pressure, and improved medication adherence as a result of the alphabet strategy implementation. Conclusion: The alphabet strategy is an effective, adaptable, and cost-efficient intervention for diabetes management, offering significant improvements in clinical outcomes and feasibility across various healthcare settings.
