Abstract Diabetes mellitus remains a pressing global health concern, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of conventional healthcare services. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of telemedicine-based diabetes education in controlling blood sugar levels among individuals with Type II diabetes, aiming to synthesize current evidence and identify key enablers and barriers to implementation. A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and transparency. A comprehensive literature search was performed using EBSCOhost (CINAHL and MEDLINE) and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed studies published between 2016 and 2020. Boolean search terms targeted telemedicine, diabetes education, and blood sugar control. After screening and eligibility assessment, five studies were included for final synthesis. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist was employed for quality assessment. Data extraction focused on study design, intervention type, glycemic outcomes (HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels), and patient engagement. The reviewed studies demonstrated that telemedicine-based diabetes education effectively improves glycemic control, enhances patient engagement, and supports self-management behaviors. Interventions incorporating behavioral counseling, remote monitoring, and structured virtual consultations yielded statistically significant reductions in HbA1c levels. Additionally, online health communities facilitated psychological well-being and adherence to treatment regimens. However, barriers such as digital literacy disparities, limited access to telehealth infrastructure, and suboptimal patient engagement were identified as challenges to implementation. The findings underscore the potential of telemedicine as a viable and effective alternative to conventional diabetes education, particularly during healthcare disruptions. While telehealth interventions improve glycemic outcomes and patient self-management, their long-term efficacy depends on sustained patient engagement, digital accessibility, and structured support systems. Future research should explore scalable telehealth models, address digital inequities, and refine telemedicine frameworks for chronic disease management. These insights inform healthcare policy and practice, advocating for the integration of telemedicine into routine diabetes care to optimize patient outcomes.
