Dermal Thermometry and Self-Care of High Risk Diabetic Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Ulcer, Diabetic Polyneuropathy

In brief

Foot ulcers remain the most common reason for hospital admission among veterans with diabetes. Healing and preventing these wounds should be a high priority for clinicians treating these high-risk patients. Previous work by the investigators has suggested that diabetic foot ulcers are preceded by inflammation, which can potentially be detected with a thermometer.
