Comprehensive Review of Diabetic Foot Care: Prevention and Management

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, leading to a wide range of systemic complications that significantly impact morbidity and mortality. Among these complications, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent one of the most serious and costly outcomes,
contributing to increased rates of hospitalization, lower limb amputations, and long-term disability worldwide. DFUs affect approximately 15% to 25% of patients with diabetes during their lifetime and remain a major driver of healthcare expenditure. This review presents a comprehensive evaluation of the
current understanding of diabetic foot care, encompassing the underlying pathophysiology, major risk factors, evidence-based prevention strategies, and the latest management protocols. Special attention is given to emerging therapies and technologies, including stem cell applications, bioengineered skin
substitutes, smart insoles, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven predictive models for ulcer development and recurrence. Furthermore, the review underscores the critical role of multidisciplinary care teams, involving endocrinologists, podiatrists, vascular surgeons, infectious disease specialists, and wound care nurses, in optimizing patient outcomes. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of robust patient education programs as a cornerstone for prevention. Despite advancements, substantial research gaps persist, particularly concerning the cost-effectiveness of novel interventions and the need for improved access to specialized foot care services in low-resource settings. Addressing these gaps remains essential to reduce the global burden of diabetic foot complications and improve the quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
Keywords Artificial intelligence, diabetic foot ulcers, multidisciplinary care, prevention, stem cell therapy.
