Abstract
Objective: To explore the transformation of diabetes management in primary care through targeted education for general practitioners.
Methodology: A comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature, systematic reviews, and policy documents was conducted to synthesize evidence on educational strategies for GPs in diabetes care. Emphasis was placed on continuing medical education, workshops, online and blended learning, simulation-based methods, and integration with clinical practice frameworks.
Results: Educational interventions improve GP knowledge, diagnostic accuracy, and adherence to guidelines, resulting in better consultations and glycemic control. Barriers include workload, limited resources, and weak organizational support, while facilitators such as protected time, supportive policies, and recognition enhance uptake.
Conclusion: Strengthening GP education through targeted and continuous interventions is essential for sustainable diabetes care. Policy support, resource allocation, and innovative delivery models will be key to empowering GPs and improving outcomes in primary care settings.

Key words: Continuing medical education, diabetes mellitus, educational interventions, general practitioners.
