Abstract:
Poorly fitting footwear has frequently been cited as an etiologic factor in the pathway to diabetic foot ulceration. However, we are unaware of any reports in the medical literature specifically measuring shoe size versus foot size in this high-risk population. We assessed the prevalence of poorly fitting footwear in individuals with and without diabetic foot ulceration. We evaluated the shoe size of 440 consecutive patients (94.1% male; mean ± SD age, 67.2 ± 12.5 years) presenting to an interdisciplinary teaching clinic. Of this population, 58.4% were diagnosed as having diabetes, and 6.8% ha

Abstract:
Diabetic foot ulcer is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes. Often this is preventable by regular screening and addressing risk factors such as regular podiatry, good foot wear and early consultation with health care professionals. General measures such as good glycaemic control, prevention of cardiovascular risk factors and prevention of deformity should be aimed during the early stages of the disease. Diabetic subjects should be encouraged to actively participate in their foot care. Prevention of foot ulcers will reduce the rate of amputation, which is common in diabetic subjec

Type 1 diabetes in older people can be challenging; food and insulin are taken less reliably, and some have cognitive impairment. Simplify insulin regimens where appropriate; ‘low’ A1C measurements may signify recurrent hypoglycaemia. The regulatory framework for drivers in Europe is less tolerant of serious hypoglycaemia. Intensive education is required and precautions while driving need reinforcing. Severe hypoglycaemia in the young is associated with impaired school performance, especially in verbal IQ and spelling.

Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) need to be managed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) including primary care physicians, infection specialists, diabetes specialists, dieticians, podiatrists, vascular surgeons, foot and ankle surgeons, and orthotics. Preventative measures such as good diabetic control, foot care, and foot wear are crucial. When DFIs occur, they should be managed promptly with urgent podiatry review, diagnostic sampling, antibiotics, attention to diabetic control, off-loading, and, where appropriate, vascular assessment, imaging, and surgery.

Abstract:
Diabetes self-management education (DSME) and diabetes self-management support (DSMS), have long been considered cornerstones of diabetes care. Because ∼98% of the glycemic outcomes in diabetes are patient-related, and the vast majority of the care is provided by the person with diabetes and his or her family members, effective care requires a partnership between an actively engaged patient and the health-care team. Education and ongoing support are critical for the patient to fully participate in shared decision-making and to make informed self-management decisions on a daily basis. Most nurs

Abstract:
Abstract Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are used extensively for a variety of clinical issues, including the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. One of the major causes of these ulcerations is the abnormally high plantar pressures present as a result of compromised foot function (Ctercteko, 1981). The AFO alleviates these abnormal pressures by redistributing them to low-pressure plantar regions. While effective, these AFOs are often not used by the patient due to weight and comfort issues. The first step in improving the basic AFO design is to understand the interaction between patient and AFO. Al
