Abstract: The primary objective of this review study was to overview the roles of family practice in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Following electronic databases (Medline, Embase and HealthStar) were used for compehnsive search that was performed using the following Mesh headings: Family Practice or General Practice, and Primary care, diabetes Mellitus, Glucose intolerance, prevention, Quality Control or Continuous Quality Improvement of diabetes prevention. The search was limited to English language published articles up to May, 2017. Patients with diabetes mellitus are commonly taken care of in medical care setups and have a considerable concern of diabetes-related comorbidity. Whereas treatment of hyperglycemia is somewhat successful, control of cardiovascular risk factors is poor as well as remains a significant challenge. family medicine methods performed far better at offering some kinds of diabetes mellitus care (largely checking tests) than physician-only practices and particularly much better than techniques utilizing physician's assistants. Creating efficiency signs for primary health care organisations more especially concentrating on the evaluation and administration of behavioural risk factors in patients at risk of developing DM might assist pervention in health care.
