Burden of Diabetes is increasing globally. In India it is affecting about 40 million people. High prevalence is attributed to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors due to urbanization and industrialization. Untreated Diabetes can lead to many complications including foot complications. Prevalence of Diabetic foot ulcers is 3.6% in the clinical population. In about 3 – 5 % of cases ulcers lead to amputation resulting in lifelong disability and dependency. This study was done to emphasize the importance of education in care of feet among the diabetic patients. A sensitized patient will have less chances of developing foot complications. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on foot care among people diagnosed with diabetes.
