Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to rise globally, necessitating effective management and sustained glycemic control. To map publication trends, country contributions, citation impact, and thematic foci of T2DM research related to glycemic control. This Scopus-based bibliometric study (22 December 2025) employed the TITLE-ABS-KEY search query “diabetes mellitus type II” AND “glycemic control”, restricted to 2015–2025, Medicine/Nursing subject areas, article document type, and English language. The selection process followed PRISMA: 2,856 records were identified and 920 articles met the eligibility criteria for analysis. Country- and year-based mapping was conducted using Scopus and visualized with Mapchart, while keyword co-occurrence mapping was performed using VOS-viewer. Publication output peaked in 2021 (121 articles). The leading contributors were the United States (188), India (115), China (82), and the United Kingdom (61). VOS-viewer identified six clusters, with dominant keywords including type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, HbA1c, and diabetes mellitus. The research frontier has increasingly emphasized self-management practice, education, self-efficacy, and glucose monitoring technologies (flash glucose monitoring). The obesity-prediabetes cluster was strongly associated with HbA1c and insulin or insulin resistance, while metformin and insulin remained central therapeutic interventions. T2DM research is increasingly oriented toward glycemic control, patient education, and technology-enabled self-management, underscoring its relevance for strengthening prevention and patient-centered care across primary care, community settings, and digital health ecosystems. Keywords: Bibliiometrik Anakisis, T2DM, Glikemik Kontrol, HbA1c. ABSTRAK Diabetes mellitus tipe 2 (DMT2) terus meningkat dan menuntut pengelolaan serta kontrol glikemik yang efektif. Memetakan tren publikasi, kontribusi negara, dampak sitasi, dan fokus tematik riset DMT2 terkait kontrol glikemik. Studi bibliometrik berbasis Scopus (22 Desember 2025) menggunakan keyword TITLE-ABS-KEY “diabetes mellitus type II” AND “glycemic control”, dibatasi tahun 2015-2025, subjek Medicine Nursing, jenis dokumen artikel, dan bahasa Inggris. Alur seleksi mengikuti PRISMA: 2.856 artikel teridentifikasi dan 920 artikel memenuhi kriteria untuk dianalisis. Pemetaan negara dan tahun dilakukan di Scopus dan divisualisasikan dengan Mapchart, pemetaan ko-okurensi kata kunci dilakukan dengan VOS-viewer. Publikasi memuncak pada 2021 (121 artikel). Kontributor utama adalah Amerika Serikat (188), India (115), China (82), dan Inggris (61). VOS-viewer mengidentifikasi enam klaster, dengan kata kunci dominan type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, HbA1c, dan diabetes mellitus. Frontiers menguat pada self-management practice, education self-efficacy, serta teknologi pemantauan glukosa (flash glucose monitoring). Klaster obesitas-prediabetes berasosiasi dengan HbA1c dan insulin atau resistensi insulin, sementara metformin dan insulin tetap intervensi sentral. Riset DMT2 berorientasi pada kontrol glikemik, edukasi, dan pengelolaan mandiri berbasis teknologi, sehingga relevan untuk penguatan pencegahan dan dukungan perawatan berpusat pada pasien di layanan primer, komunitas, dan ekosistem digital. Kata Kunci: Bibliometrik Analisis, DMT2, Glycemic Control, HbA1c.
