Summary

This study tests a program called CARE-D-Foot-Nav, where a diabetes educator acts as a personal navigator for people with diabetic foot ulcers. The navigator helps with blood sugar control, wound care, transportation, and emotional support. Researchers want to see if this extra help leads to more ulcers healing within 20 weeks compared to usual care alone. The study plans to enroll 270 adults with diabetes and a foot ulcer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: patient navigator program (CARE-D-Foot-Nav)
What this could lead to: If it works, this program could become a standard way to help people with diabetic foot ulcers heal faster and avoid complications.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study testing a support program, not a new drug. The results may not show a clear benefit over usual care, and the program may not be widely available if it is too costly or hard to implement.
