Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases around the world, and mainly affects the foot among the human body parts. The main causes of the diabetic foot are neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease and foot deformities; it leads to foot ulceration. Generally, sensory loss, high plantar pressure, foot deformities, inappropriate footwear, blindness, and age are the causing risk factors for developing foot ulceration in diabetic patients. Foot ulceration will result in prolonged hospitalization, high medical expenses, and serious complications with lower extremity amputation. For a long time, appropriate footwear has been recommended by physicians for reducing plantar pressure to prevent foot ulceration, the risk of amputation, and re-ulceration. A review is provided in this article towards the existing literature on the causes and prevalence of the diabetic foot, foot ulceration, off-loading pressure, footwear modification for different types of diabetic foot deformities, and types of footwear and textile materials used in footwear insoles for healing purposes.

Diabetes mellitus is the number one cause of limb loss in North America, and is associated with growing, unacceptable rates of morbidity, mortality and economic loss. Approximately 80% of these amputations are preceded by the development of foot ulceration. Various disciplines have studied the prevention and management of foot ulceration in those with diabetes. The present care plan was constructed to incorporate the important contributions from these disciplines into practical therapeutic guidelines. The care plan has been divided into three basic sections: assessment, general management and antibiotic therapy. Each of these sections is described in detail and borrows heavily from previous Canadian position papers. Application of the care plan is illustrated by multiple diabetic foot clinical scenarios, which have been categorized according to the Wagner classification.
