“…Approximately 5% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop a diabetic foot ulcer due to peripheral arterial disease (Reekers & Lammer, 2012). There has been an increase of neuro-ischaemic ulcerations where there is the presence of both peripheral diabetes neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease (Campbell, 2011;Hinchliffe et al, 2012).…”

“…In a study conducted by Campbell et al, a prevalence of approximately 27% of sensory disorders was reported, with a focus on neuropathy in the UK population. Therefore, it is recommended that in addition to continuous patient education, foot examination in short intervals be conducted to prevent neuropathic wounds [ 5 ]. In a study conducted on adult diabetic patients in the diabetes clinic at Gondar University Hospital in northwestern Ethiopia, researchers found that diabetic patients with neuropathy were 21.7 times more likely to develop diabetic foot ulcers than patients with diabetes without neuropathy.…”

“…Globally, DFU prevalence reaches 6.3% [ 2 ], while in Iran, it ranges from 3 to 10.6% [ 3 , 4 ]. Notably, estimations indicate that approximately 25% of individuals with DM will face the risk of developing DFUs during their lifetime [ 5 ].…”

Background and purpose The lack of timely foot care among individuals with diabetics often lead to ulceration followed by infection and amputation. This study aimed to evaluate the foot self-care status and foot screening practices among patients with type 2 diabetes in various cities across Iran. Methods The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes in 10 main cities of Iran. The information about demographic and lifestyle factors, diabetes history, and diabetic foot self-care (DFSQ) was assessed. Additionally, the neurological and vascular condition of the foot were screened by Inlow’s 60-Second Screen. Results The study included 1094 diabetic patients with, with a majority being female (64.8%) and married (92.5%). The average age of the participants was 57.6 ± 10.21 (mean ± SD), and the mean duration of diabetes was 11.56 ± 7.41 years. Based on Inlow’s 60-Second Screen criteria, 58% of the patients should undergo yearly foot ulcer screening, 47% exhibited peripheral neuropathy, and 37% were found to have inappropriate footwear. Conclusion The high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy observed in approximately half of the participants across different regions of Iran underscores the importance of continuous patient education regarding foot care and appropriate footwear. Furthermore, regular foot ulcer screenings, following the recommended intervals outlined in Inlow’s screening protocol, should be implemented to effectively manage diabetic foot complications.

Background and Purpose Lack of timely foot care in diabetics result in ulceration followed by infection and amputation. This study aimed to evaluate the foot self-care status and foot screening of patients suffering from diabetes around the country of Iran. Methods The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes in 10 main cities of Iran. The information about demographic and lifestyle factors, diabetes history, diabetic foot self-care situation (DFSQ) was assessed. Additionally, the neurological and vascular condition of the foot were screened by Inlow’s 60-Second Screen. Results Participants were 1094 diabetic patients. Most of the participants were female (64.8%) and married (92.5%) with the average age of 57.6 ± 10.21 (mean ± SD). The mean duration of DM was 11.56 ± 7.41 years. According to the Inlow’s 60-Second Screen criteria, 58% of patients should have foot ulcer screened yearly and 47% of the patients had peripheral neuropathy, 37% of population had inappropriate foot wear. Conclusion Considering the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy among about than half of participants in this study across Iran, it is essential to have continuous patients’ education about foot care and foot wear. Additionally, foot ulcer screening would be performed in recommended interval of Inlow screen.
