Diabetic foot (DF) is a major public health concern. As evident from numerous previous studies, supervision of DF ulcer (DFU) is crucial, and a specific quality check-up is needed. Patients should be educated about glycaemic management, DFUs, foot lesions, proper care for injuries, diet, and surgery. Certain reasonably priced treatments, such as hyperbaric oxygen and vacuum-assisted closure therapy, are also available for DFUs, along with modern wound care products and techniques. Nonetheless, DF care (cleaning, applying antimicrobial cream when wounded, and foot reflexology), blood glucose monitoring to control diabetes, and monthly or quarterly examinations in individuals with diabetes are effective in managing DFUs. Between 50% and 80% of DF infections are preventable. Regardless of the intensity of the lesion, it needs to be treated carefully and checked daily during infection. Tissue regeneration can be aided by cleaning, dressing, and application of topical medicines. The choice of shoes is also important because it affects blood circulation and nerve impulses. In general, regular check-ups, monitoring of the patient’s condition, measuring blood glucose levels, and providing frequent guidance regarding DFU care are crucial. Finally, this important clinical problem requires involvement of multiple professionals to properly manage it.
