A systematic literature review was carried out using the following electronic databases: PSYCINFO, SCOPUS, Web of science, CINAHL and the Cochrane library. Findings: Socio-cultural factors (social interactions, food preferences and family structure and family bound) affect nutritional management of type II diabetes mellitus South Eastern Nigeria.
