Abstract Background All sustainable developmental goals (SDGs) require implementing sustainable strategies and monitoring to track progress. But what is known of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA)'s efforts in following this stride to reduce by 30% mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through prevention (SDG 3.4), by considering the effect of social determinants of health (SODHs) on type 2 diabetes increasing prevalence? Methods Our search produced 2005 unique articles. Only 10 studies were used in the analysis of this study. These studies include 1 from Botswana, 2 from Ghana, 2 from Kenya, 3 from Nigeria and 2 from South Africa. The findings were evaluated in a greater extent. Results All studies (100%) showed non-adherence to exercise and poor glycemic control. 7 studies (70%) on education revealed lack of knowledge or misconceptions, 5 studies (50%) with obesity showed a strong linkage between obesity and type 2 diabetes, and 4 studies (40%) on diet, showed diets high in carbohydrates, saturated fats, and sodium predisposition to type 2 diabetes. All studies (100%) linked urbanization with an increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Conclusions Changes in SODHs seem to be contributing to the growing prevalence of diabetes in SSA. These changes with other key data should be considered and tailored to policy processes, environment, infrastructures, and norms for prevention strategies and informing dashboard development for SDG 3.4. Key messages Social determinants of health must reflect in relevant causal pathways, settings, and sectors for preventive intervention such as in taxation; regulation of food advertising, school, and healthcare. Analysis of the effect of the changing social determinants of health on type 2 diabetes, will assist in establishing indicators for the dashboard development for SDG 3.4 for sub-Sahara Africa.
