• Resumen

  • To investigate the relationship between diabetes-related knowledge and foot ulceration among people with type 2 diabetes, the authors assessed diabetes knowledge in groups with and without foot ulceration. There was no significant difference in diabetes-related knowledge between the two groups, although the mean level of knowledge in the group with foot ulceration was greater. The authors’ question current approaches to diabetes education and suggest that a new approach to diabetes education programmes is needed.
