Summary

This study tested whether a structured educational program could help people with diabetes avoid foot ulcers. 42 adults with diabetes took part; half attended two specialist-led sessions on foot care, while the other half received standard care. The education group showed better knowledge, self-care habits, and skin condition, and no one developed a foot ulcer during the six-month follow-up. Larger studies are needed to confirm long-term benefits.
