Behavior Change in the Diabetic Foot: A Primer.

Abstract

Diabetic foot complications are often preventable with consistent self-care and early intervention, yet adherence remains low. This article explores how behavior change models, psychological insights, and practical clinical strategies can support patient engagement and reduce ulcer recurrence. Using real-world case vignettes and evidence-based techniques, podiatrists are empowered to foster collaborative, long-term care grounded in behavioral science.
