Abstract: The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology in healthcare, especially for diabetes management, represents a transformative advancement enabling continuous, proactive monitoring of patients' health. This paper aims to present an IoT-blockchain-based model for continuous, secure, and efficient health monitoring in diabetes management. IoT devices like smart glucose monitors and insulin pumps collect and transmit real-time health data, allowing for prompt treatment adjustments and complication prevention. Blockchain ensures data security and integrity through encryption and decentralized storage, safeguarding against unauthorized access and tampering. This secure data transmission is crucial for maintaining patient privacy and complying with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. The combination of IoT and blockchain promises enhanced security, transparency, cost reduction, and improved patient outcomes. It enhances patient engagement by enabling seamless communication between patients and healthcare providers, facilitating personalized and timely medical advice. The integration of these technologies holds promise for revolutionizing healthcare delivery, offering sustainable solutions to managing chronic conditions like diabetes
