Abstract: : diabetic foot ulcer is a common yet serious complication of diabetes mellitus. These ulcers can lead to further complications and severe outcomes, including hospitalization due to foot infections, leg amputation, and even death. Timely recognition of the signs of a developing ulcer and proper preventative measures are necessary to avoid such outcomes. This work attempts to evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for developing diabetic foot ulcers, their outcomes, and assess patients’ knowledge levels using the Patient’s Interpretation of Neuropathy questionnaire.
