Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a prevalent and complex chronic condition with serious global health, economic, and social implications. Among its most severe complications are diabetic foot conditions, which contribute significantly to morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Without timely and effective management, these complications can lead to infection, ulceration, and lower limb amputation, drastically reducing quality of life. This paper highlights the importance of early detection, regular foot assessments, patient education, and strict glycemic control in preventing diabetic foot complications. A multidisciplinary approach—engaging nurses, physicians, podiatrists, and educators—is essential for delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. Evidence supports the effectiveness of preventive strategies, including the use of appropriate footwear and structured educational interventions, in reducing the incidence of foot ulcers and amputations. By prioritizing early intervention and fostering collaborative care models, healthcare systems can significantly alleviate the burden of diabetic foot disease and improve patient outcomes.
