Aims: To describe the nutritional status of people with diabetes-related foot complications and explore the association between nutrition and ulceration healing.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included attendees of a diabetes foot service who completed a dietary questionnaire. Diet was compared to guideline recommendations and biochemical measures were recorded.
Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of denosumab on pedal bone health and clinical resolution in active Charcot foot (CN).
Methods: This multicentre open-label phase 2 randomised controlled trial recruited adults with diabetes mellitus and active CN within 3 months of onset. Participants were randomised to standard care alone, or with denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously.
Aims: To evaluate the impact of peripheral neuropathy on bone health in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Participants with T2DM were grouped according to the presence of peripheral neuropathy as assessed by vibration perception threshold (VPT). Recruitment ensured groups were balanced for age, sex and body mass index (BMI).
Background: In an era of increasing technology and telehealth utilization, three-dimensional (3D) wound cameras promise reliable, rapid, and touch-free ulceration measurements. However, reliability data for commercially available devices in the diabetes foot service setting is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the reliability of diabetes-related foot ulceration measurement using a 3D wound camera in comparison to the routinely used ruler and probe.
