Objective: Behavioural agreements have been proposed as a clinical strategy for improving concordance with diabetes foot self-management practices, both for individuals 'At-risk' of, and with active, diabetes foot disease. This narrative review sought to explore the potential supportive role of person-centred diabetes foot behavioural agreements in promoting protective foot self-management behaviours among 'At-risk' individuals.
Conclusions: Healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in diabetes foot risk stratification and management dedicate considerable time, effort and resources to the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and lower extremity amputation (LEA) and are uniquely placed to deliver person-centred diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) interventions.
Background: This evaluation sought to determine current Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) diabetes patient education practices among Scottish National Health Service (NHS) and academic podiatrists and evaluate novel visual tools and develop expert consensus for future practice.
Methods: Questionnaires collected mixed qualitative and quantitative responses, analysed concurrently within a convergence coding matrix. Delphi methodology permitted member-checking and agreement of consensus over two rounds.
Unlabelled: In this article, we describe a case of a man without diabetes with a long history of amiodarone use. He presented with a foot deformity and plantar ulceration. Examination showed him to have a symmetrical peripheral neuropathy and findings consistent with a Charcot foot.
