Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that may lead to various complications, including cellulitis. This case report aimed to implement evidence-based medicine care through a patient-centered and family-oriented approach in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by cellulitis. Data were collected through history taking, physical examination, supporting investigations, and home visits to comprehensively assess the patient's risk factors and overall condition. Interventions included health education, dietary modification, promotion of physical activity, and family involvement in patient care. The results demonstrated improved knowledge among the patient and family members, better adherence to recommended dietary practices, and increased regular physical activity. The family medicine approach was shown to support more comprehensive diabetes management and contribute to complication prevention and improvement of the patient's quality of life.
