When a person with diabetes is not cared for properly, hospitalization can become complicated and lead to worse consequences for the patient. In fact, it is important to know how to manage a diabetic patient while in hospital. Therefore, a special organization is needed in hospitals for adaptation to chronic diseases such as diabetes. This study intends to help hospital adaptation to the special needs of diabetic patients by identifying patterns of care delivery in selected countries. This comparative study was performed in 2021. The data collection was conducted by searching in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Science Direct, Springer, Proquest, and also the websites of the selected countries hospitals. Based on the sampling method, three countries, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States, were selected from the countries with eligibility. However, during the study, according to the good practices about special diabetic care of countries such as Australia and Denmark, they were also examined. In this review study, we organized and compared the effective measures taken in selected countries in relation to the management of these patients in the hospital, focusing on the dimensions of service package, human resource, process, structure, equipment/technology, and information system required by diabetic patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_ctl28_g_dd789d22_dab1_410a_b0b4_ca9d5b6d1f98_ctl03_sectionListControl_sectionListView_ctrl1_sectionDisplayControl_subSectionListView_ctrl0_subSectionDisplayControl_itemListControl_itemListView_ctrl0_itemDisplayControl_ctl00_lblLegacyJournalTitle" class="journalTitleInSearch" style="box-sizing: inherit;
