Abstract: This is a theoretical essay that aimed to identify measures for the integrated management of patients with tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus in the global context. Individuals with diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of developing tuberculosis and experiencing negative effects on treatment outcomes, such as therapeutic failure, drug resistance, and death. Health professionals play a key role in the prevention and control of comorbidity. The development and implementation of protocols, bidirectional screening, and health education may lead to better control and co-management of these conditions.
