Lifestyle Intervention for Preventing Recurrent Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This study is evaluating a lifestyle-focused program to help people who have had diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) prevent them from coming back. DFUs are common in people with diabetes and can lead to serious problems, including amputation. Even after healing, DFUs often return. This study will compare a "Lifestyle-focused Occupational Therapy Intervention" with standard education materials. The occupational therapy intervention will involve about 12 sessions over several months, focusing on building self-care routines to help you consistently use special shoes and manage your diabetes. You may be able to join if you are at least 21 years old, have had a DFU heal within the last year, and can walk independently. The study aims to see how many participants complete the study after 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
