Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming diabetes care across prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy
personalization. Machine learning (ML), deep learning, and reinforcement learning approaches, combined with
continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), closed-loop insulin delivery systems, electronic health records (EHRs),
and multi-omics data, are enabling earlier detection, finer patient stratification, individualized therapeutic
choices, and improved glycemic outcomes. Randomized trials and meta-analyses show that AI-enabled systems
improve time-in-range (TIR), reduce hypoglycemia, and lessen treatment burden. However, challenges persist
regarding data representativeness, model interpretability, regulatory oversight, equity, and clinical workflow
integration. This comprehensive review synthesizes the current landscape of AI applications in precision
diabetes management, with a focus on predictive modeling, CGM analytics, automated insulin delivery (AID),
pharmacotherapy personalization, digital biomarkers, and digital twins. We also discuss implementation
challenges, ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and future directions to ensure equitable deployment
and sustained clinical impact.
