Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deffciency, with a global prevalence that continues to rise. It not only leads to abnormal blood glucose metabolism but also increases the risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications, seriously endangering patients’ physical health and quality of life. Nursing care, as an indispensable part of T2DM comprehensive management, plays a key role in controlling blood glucose, preventing complications, and improving patients’ self-management abilities. This paper explores the theoretical basis and core principles of T2DM nursing, analyzes the core nursing dimensions (including diet, exercise, medication, blood glucose monitoring, and complication prevention), summarizes innovative nursing models and application effects, discusses practical challenges such as poor patient compliance and uneven nursing resources, and proposes targeted optimization strategies. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and clinical guidance for standardizing T2DM nursing practices, enhancing nursing quality, and promoting the long-term health of patients.
