Personalized medicine represents a groundbreaking approach to diabetes management, leveraging individual genetic, metabolic,and environmental factors to optimize treatment and improve outcomes. This review explores the advancements and applicationsofpersonalized medicine in diabetes, highlighting its role in risk prediction, therapeutic strategies, and the integration of digital healthtechnologies. Genomic research has identified polymorphisms affecting drug efficacy, enabling the customization of treatmentslikemetformin and sulfonylureas. Metabolomic profiling has uncovered biomarkers, such as α-hydroxybutyrate, which predict insulinresistance and provide opportunities for early intervention. Personalized nutrition, informed by glycemic response studies, furthersupports tailored dietary strategies to enhance glucose homeostasis. Despite these innovations, challenges persist, includingthecomplexity of integrating multi-omics data, cost barriers, and ethical concerns related to data privacy and equitable access. Mobilehealth technologies and artificial intelligence have emerged as promising tools to overcome these hurdles, facilitatingreal-timedecision-making and improving patient engagement. However, more extensive longitudinal studies are essential to validatethesafetyand efficacy of personalized approaches across diverse populations. This review emphasizes the transformative potentialofpersonalized medicine in revolutionizing diabetes care by overcoming current limitations and utilizing technological advancements,personalized interventions can greatly improve patient outcomes and expand the use of precision healthcare in managingchronicdiseases.
