Non-pharmaceutical interventions in controlling and treating type 2 diabetes can be less costly and have fewer complications. Accordingly, this study identifies non-pharmaceutical interventions in controlling and treating type 2 diabetes through systematic review.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Methods</strong>: This study is a systematic review of the papers published in non-pharmaceutical interventions to control and treat type 2 diabetes. The authors have used the standard guideline of systematic review (PRISMA). A total of 41 papers were selected from 529 full-text articles published between 2014 and 2020. The search included the electronic data banks, including Medline, Science Direct, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and the Google Scholar search engine.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: Non-pharmaceutical interventions were classified into four categories: Lifestyle, treatment devices, traditional treatment, and education. The results showed that lifestyle modification is the most effective non-pharmaceutical intervention for treating type 2 diabetes.<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Study findings show that applying non-pharmaceutical interventions effectively controls and prevents type-2 diabetes complications. Education is a part that needs to be given more attention.&nbsp;<br> <br> <strong>Corresponding author:&nbsp;</strong>Roghayeh Zardosht, Email: Rozardosht@yahoo.com<br> <u>You can also search for this author in:</u>&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%28Roghayeh+Zardosht%5BAuthor%5D%29+AND+%28Sabzevar+University+of+Medical+Sciences%5BAffiliation%5D%29">PubMed</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=YVA-aLgAAAAJ">Google Scholar</a></span></span><br> &nbsp;</div> Type 2 diabetes, Education, Lifestyle, Health 391 406 http://jrh.gmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2219-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Fatemeh Ghardashi f2.ghardashi@gmail.com 100319475328460030648 100319475328460030648 No Non-communicable Diseases Research Center, School of Paramedical, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran.
