Summary - Frequency of Foot Examination• A number of studies have shown that routine foot examination is frequently notperformed in people with diabetes• No studies have examined the impact of frequency of foot examination on clinicaloutcomes in people with diabetes• There is general agreement that people with diabetes should have their feetexamined every year for risk factors and if risk factors are identified feet shouldbe examined more frequently56
