Background: diabetic foot ulcer is a major health problem around the world with a high morbidity and mortality rates. The good knowledge and practice pattern could decrease the diabetic foot ulcer complications. Objectives: this study aimed to evaluate knowledge of the diabetic patients regarding the complications of diabetic foot ulcer in Saudi Arabia (KSA). Patients and Methods: this is a cross sectional community based study conducted from March 2017 to July 2017 among 920 diabetic patients. The subjects were interviewed in the shopping malls, pharmacies and coffee shops and asked to fill out a pre-tested questionnaire about the knowledge of complications. Results: the duration of diabetes was more than 10 years among 65% of them. About 40.9% of subjects were using oral hypoglycemic agents, 57.8% were using insulin for management of diabetes. The most common diabetic complication was retinopathy, while the most common foot ulcer complication was foot numbness and stiffness. The level of knowledge was good among most of subjects (77%), while 23% had insufficient knowledge regarding the diabetic foot ulcer. The good awareness was significantly associated with higher educational levels. Conclusion: the level of awareness about complications of diabetic foot was sufficient among most of Saudi subjects. But, there was an urgent need for raising the awareness and identifying the risk factors, educating the patients through increasing the patients and doctors relationship. The knowledge alone was not sufficient for assessing the practice pattern thus major studies must be conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice pattern among Saudi subjects.

Higher HbA1c was reported in a studies conducted by Jamil K and Farasat T. 21,25 Moreover higher HbA1c was recorded by Farasat T in patients with proliferative retinopathy than patients with background or pre-proliferative retinopathy. 25 Retinopathy is a dreadful complication of diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide.…”

“…22 Contrary to our study, many studies conducted on diabetic retinopathy locally as well as abroad showed female predominance. [23][24][25] Male predominance in our study may be due to more and easy access to health facilities, male predominance in society, high literacy rate amongst males, early sever ocular complications or an accidental finding.…”

Patients with type 1 diabetes or diagnosed later than 12 months were excluded from the study. Patients with retinopathy due to some other cause were also excluded from the study. Both out door patients and admitted patients were included in the study. After detailed history, proper fundoscopic examination of both eyes was performed and findings were recorded on preformed proforma. Results: A total of 196 patients were enrolled in the study. One hundred and ten were male and 86 were female in a ratio of 1.3:1 respectively. Age distribution amongst study population ranged between 30-60 years. Mean age of the population was 49.18 ± 7.62 SD years with median age 48 years and mode age 45 years. Out of 196 patients, 32 (16.3%) patients had diabetic retinopathy on proper fundoscopic examination. Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy is a well known microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and any one with this complication must be referred to specialist ophthalmologist for further necessary investigation and management to prevent further complications.

“…the educational level (p=0,001) and household income (p=0,001) of the participants had shown an impact on patients' knowledge about diabetic foot injury .The results of our study exposed that the most educated patients are the most knowledgeable about diabetic foot injuries, which come in consistence with the results of other studies. [3,6] The majority (57,8%) of responders were on oral hypoglycemic drugs alone or in combination with insulin (21,7%). A smaller number (15,0%) were on insulin therapy alone.…”
