Abstract
A community-based diabetic foot screening campaign was introduced during one week in the French-speaking part of Switzerland to emphasize the preventive impact of systematic foot inspections. Of 494 screened people, 46 % never had their feet checked - and as many as 63% if only standardized examinations according to the recommendations are considered. The risk of diabetic foot complications may appear as early as a few years after diagnosis, underlining the importance of a systematic annual check-up.
