Given the ongoing adaptation and use of telehealth to improve patient access to health programs, there is a need to explore whether the rapidly growing social media network can engage PWD in self-management strategies to reduce their risk of diabetes-related complications such as diabetes-related foot ulceration (DFU). In this paper, we describe the development and implementation of the Diabetic Foot Care Group (DFCG), a social media-based self-management support intervention for PWD to prevent DFU. Using a co-design approach, we actively engaged both healthcare professionals (HCP) and PWD in the development and implementation activities.

Oxygen application can be via a mechanical system that delivers gaseous oxygen to the wound bed (carrier systems) or can be via topical applications (e.g., oxygen generating/ releasing dressings or haemoglobin spray) that directly or indirectly increase oxygen in the wound bed. Level 1 evidence consisting of five meta-analyses1-5 on the effectiveness of mechanically delivered topical oxygen therapy demonstrated that the treatment is associated with statistically significant improvements in complete healing at 12 weeks2-5, and in the number of DFUs healed at 8—12 weeks1. These findings are supported by a narrative systematic review6, although a seventh, narrative review7 concluded that the evidence was inadequate to make recommendations. There is evidence that topical oxygen therapy delivered via mechanical systems is associated with improvement in wound healing at 12 weeks with differences over standard care of between 5% and 27%2, which may be clinically significant for some people with DFUs. Two Level 1 reviews8, 9 reported narrative results from Levels 2, 3 and 4 studies on effectiveness of haemoglobin spray for treating DFUs, but this body of evidence is currently inadequate to recommend this method of topical oxygen delivery.
