Training goal for diabetics: the daily check of the feet

The number of diabetics who are not or insufficiently informed is still far too high. About a third do not know that they need to do something for their feet. Yet there is a clear plan. As soon as a patient is diagnosed with diabetes, they should receive training and learn how to control their feet and care for them without injury. In Germany, this affects six to eight million diabetics. This is according to the national care guideline for diabetic foot, which is currently being revised. But the reality is different. Not even half of the diabetics have received such training, as the GEHWOL Diabetes Report shows.

GEHWOL Diabetes Report 2021-2022: Advise diabetics, protect their feet!

Four out of five foot amputations could be prevented in diabetics. Prerequisite among other things: Risk awareness! According to the GEHWOL Diabetes Report, there is a lack of awareness. There is room for improvement in terms of education. The early identification of risk patients, their interdisciplinary care, but also an optimised risk awareness among those affected is of great importance.
