Abstract

Aim: In patients with diabetes, autonomic neuropathy leads to reduced sweating, which can lead to dry skin, and if the condition worsens, these can progress from foot fissures to ulcers. Although foot skin care is important in patients with diabetes to prevent diabetes-related foot ulcers, there are no detailed guidelines that provide specific methodology for achieving this goal. This scoping review aimed to clarify what is known in the literature regarding foot skin care for dry skin for patients with diabetes and propose optimal foot skin care to help prevent diabetes-related foot ulcers.

Methods: Literature databases were searched and two independent researchers screened the articles according to the inclusion criteria and then extracted the data. To be included in the analysis, all reports had to be original articles/case studies, studies involving human subjects, and studies on foot skin care for dry skin for patients with diabetes.

Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed that application of a moisturizer, especially a cream containing urea or a cream containing 15% glycerol, liquid, and 10% soft paraffin twice a day for at least two weeks, could help relieve dry feet.

Conclusion: Establishing optimal foot skin care for patients with diabetes may require further studies that examine the frequency and long-term effects of foot skin care interventions, with the ultimate outcome focused on the development of diabetes-related foot ulcers.

糖尿病相关足部溃疡预防的最佳足部皮肤护理:范围综述。
目的:在糖尿病患者中,自主神经病变导致出汗减少,这可能导致皮肤干燥,如果病情恶化,这些可能从足裂发展到溃疡。虽然足部皮肤护理对糖尿病患者预防糖尿病相关足部溃疡很重要,但没有详细的指南提供实现这一目标的具体方法。本综述旨在澄清文献中已知的关于糖尿病患者皮肤干燥的足部皮肤护理,并提出最佳的足部皮肤护理,以帮助预防糖尿病相关的足部溃疡。方法:检索文献数据库,由两名独立研究人员根据纳入标准对文章进行筛选,提取数据。要纳入分析,所有报告必须是原创文章/案例研究,涉及人类受试者的研究,以及糖尿病患者皮肤干燥的足部皮肤护理研究。结果:7项研究符合纳入标准。研究结果表明,使用保湿霜,特别是含有尿素的霜或含有15%甘油、液体和10%软石蜡的霜,每天两次,持续至少两周,可以帮助缓解脚干。结论:为糖尿病患者建立最佳的足部皮肤护理可能需要进一步的研究,检查足部皮肤护理干预的频率和长期效果,最终的结果将集中在糖尿病相关足部溃疡的发展上。

期刊介绍: Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
