Foot care classes keep diabetic ulcers away
NCT ID NCT07329491
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a structured educational program could help people with diabetes prevent foot ulcers. 42 adults with diabetes attended two specialist-led sessions or received standard care. The education group showed better foot care knowledge and habits, and no one developed a foot ulcer during the six-month follow-up. Larger studies are needed to confirm these results.
