High prevalence is attributed to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors due to urbanization and industrialization.

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.
