A longitudinal study on the association between diabetic foot disease and health related quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes

ConclusionAlthough participants with diabetic foot disease reported lower HRQOL at baseline, they had similar changes compared to those without diabetic foot disease during the two-year follow-up. Efforts to maintain general health and early intervention to prevent diabetic foot disease may help to avoid initial deterioration of physical health and HRQOL.
