High-quality diabetes health education, particularly through Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES), is fundamental to effective diabetes self-management. However, considerable variability exists in the quality of education delivered by healthcare professionals, and existing evidence remains fragmented, particularly regarding educational quality, digital health integration, and implementation across diverse healthcare settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review aims to map and synthesise existing evidence on the quality of diabetes health education delivered by HCPs' across diverse healthcare settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review will follow the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley, enhanced by Levac and colleagues, and refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute.

Two reviewers will independently screen studies, extract data using a standardised charting form guided by Donabedian's Structure\u2013Process\u2013Outcome framework, and report the review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review will provide a comprehensive synthesis of the evidence on the quality of diabetes health education delivered by healthcare professionals.
