Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions and is expected to affect nearly 800 million people worldwide by 2045. Diabetes entails many complications; diabetic foot is among the most notorious complications. It requires complex long-term treatments and often has a high rate of relapse. Diabetic foot significantly threatens patient quality of life and imposes a considerable economic burden on both patients and healthcare systems. Therefore, prevention of diabetic foot is essential. It is important to identify patients at-risk of diabetic foot through regular check-ups and assessments. At-risk diabetic foot patients should be educated about foot self-care, appropriate footwear, and pre-ulcerative signs. Once pre-ulcerative lesions are found, swift intervention by trained professionals is necessary. Multidisciplinary collaboration in education of diabetic patients about diabetic foot is recommended and should consistently support patients in managing foot self-care.
