January 12, 2021 updated by: Edoardo Mannucci, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi

Patient Education for the Prevention of Lower Limb Ulcers in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Validation of an Educational Intervention Repeated Every Three Months for 2 Years.

Following a prior observation that a brief structured group educational intervention is effective for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers in high-risk patients, but that the efficacy decreases over the time, this study is designed to verify the effect of a repetition of the educational intervention.
