Abstract. Background: Urgent need lies in the development of more effective and holistic interventions that encompass both the
physical and psychological dimensions of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of integrating mindfulness
and physical activity in the prevention and management of diabetes. Method: The systematic review of existing literature aims to
highlight the importance of a deeper understanding of the relationship between mindfulness and physically active activities in the context
of diabetes prevention and managing. Result: The results of this systematic review highlight multiple beneficial outcomes, including
improvements in psychological well-being and diabetes management, holistic care, parasympathetic activity, insulin resistance, stress
reduction, self-management, and mindful eating. Conclusion: The findings advocate for the adjunctive use of mindfulness-based
interventions like mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR), MBCT, and MB-EAT in diabetes care, offering avenues to mitigate
stress, bolster self management, and potentially augment diabetes care through enhanced self-efficacy, knowledge, and communication.
