N2 - The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important emerging technology that enables (usually) pervasive ubiquitous devices to connect to the Internet. Medical and Healthcare Internet of Things (MHIoT) represents one of the application areas for IoT that has revolutionized the healthcare sector. In this study, a systematized literature review on the adoption of MHIoT for diabetes management is done to investigate the application of IoT in the monitoring of diabetes, key challenges, what has been done, in which context, and the research gap using Denyer and Transfield’s systematic literature review methodology. The key findings reveal that developing nations are lagging despite the greater benefits of MHIoT in such resource-constrained contexts. The findings suggest that infrastructure costs, security, and privacy issues are most important in the adoption of MHIoT for diabetes management. The opportunities presented by MHIoT surpass the challenges as healthcare costs are reduced in a resource-constrained context. Further research in infrastructural needs and privacy concerns is needed to take full advantage of these benefits and address the challenges.
