Summary:Objectives The important role of prevention in controlling chronic diseases such as diabetes, the major impact of self-care behaviors as preventive behaviors, and the lower cost of self-care measures should be considered. Therefore, this study was conducted to systematically review and meta-analyze the status of diabetes self-care activities status in type 2 diabetic patients worldwide. Methods As far as we know, our study is the first systematic based meta-analysis estimating the pooled score of diabetes self-care activities (SDSCA) and its dimensions among type 2 diabetic patients. Keywords were searched in Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane, Ovid, and ProQuest databases from 2012 to 2022. The self-care pooled score estimates through a fixed-effects meta-analysis using STATA 15. Also, I 2 statistic was used to determine heterogeneity across the articles. Results Seventeen studies on the diabetes self-care activities were included in the meta-analysis. Variation in pooled mean attributable to heterogeneity for exercise and self-care is zero, while the variation for foot cares, general diet, and blood testing were estimated to be 53, 20.6, and 81.4%, respectively ( p
