Core Tip Diabetes disproportionately affects equity‑deserving populations, yet access to specialist care remains limited. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on specialist‑led and specialist‑supported diabetes interventions in high‑income countries, identifying five effective care models: provider education, patient education, community supports, multidisciplinary clinics, and telehealth. Interventions that emphasized empowerment, interdisciplinary collaboration, attention to social determinants of health, and flexible delivery are essential. Notably, models that extend specialist expertise into primary care and community settings may overcome structural barriers to access. Our findings can inform equitable, scalable diabetes care design and future implementation‑focused research.
