Abstract
Diabetes is a fairly common medical condition that amounts to a huge burden on the health care system. Therefore, preventing the complications of diabetes is of utmost importance and has resulted in implementation of screening programs at the Primary Health Care level. In this review article we aimed at discussing the diabetic management at the level of Primary Health Care. The medical archives including Pubmed, Embase, index copernicus and index medicus were searched to find out suitable articles already published and written on the relevant subject considering diabetic management in Primary Health Care. Different managements were found and each had its scientific evidence and background. Switching from oral medications to insulin is a critical juncture when it comes to the management of diabetes. Diabetes is a clinical condition which needs further studies and research to evaluate the effectiveness of current management at the primary health care level.
