Objective: To test the effect of a podiatric health education activity on foot self-care and the degree of foot-related disability in a group of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the province of Seville. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used.
Methods: Twenty-nine people with DM participated. The intervention was a podiatric health education activity consisting of a 1-hour informative talk. Foot pain-related disability was measured using the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index. The degree of foot self-care was measured with the University of Malaga Foot Self-care questionnaire.
Results: One month after the intervention, both parameters had improved significantly. The mean score on the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index increased from 59.96 (SD, 8.69) at baseline to 67.39 (SD, 6.99) at 1 month, and the mean score on the University of Malaga Foot Self-care questionnaire improved from 11.65 (SD, 20.07) at baseline to 4.52 (SD, 5.47) after 1 month.
Conclusions: Therapeutic education increases the level of self-care and decreases the degree of foot-related disability in people with DM.

Objectives: To assess the factors associated with foot self-care behaviour and non-adherence to foot screening among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Design And Setting: A multicentre cross-sectional study was undertaken in seven primary care polyclinics in Singapore between October 2020 and December 2021.
Participants And Outcomes: 275 adults (male 55.
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly affects the quality of life (QoL), necessitating comprehensive management strategies. In resource-limited settings such as Nigeria, managing diabetes can be challenging due to limited access to medications, which impacts patients' QoL. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) empowers patients through knowledge and skills, potentially improving their QoL.

Therefore, an interprofessional (IP) team-based approach is essential for effectively managing and educating the population on diabetic foot self-management strategies. However, the perceptions of the HCPs related to the importance of IP teamwork in diabetic foot care and their readiness to work in an IP team are less explored.

Young-onset diabetes (YOD) is characterised by unique diagnostic and management challenges more pronounced in resource-limited settings like Sri Lanka. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence, patterns and characteristics of YOD in Sri Lanka and describe the state of care. Retrospective review of baseline data of all patients enrolled in the prospective multicentre Database for Young-Onset Diabetes, Sri Lanka (DYOD-SL), was performed, from April 2021 to April 2023.
