Unfortunately, identifying elements associated with foot ulcer development is often poorly executed, especially in primary care settings, particularly in low-middle-income countries.

Participants were classified according to the IWGDF Risk Classification and subsequently divided into two groups for analysis: those at high risk for DFU (Groups 1, 2, or 3) and those at low risk for DFU (Group 0).

The objectives of preventing these complications are not fully reached in clinical practice. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have proven their efficacy in reducing major cardiovascular events, diminishing hospitalization for HF and limiting the progression of CKD to end-stage kidney disease in placebo-controlled randomised trials in high-risk patients with T2DM. These evidence-based benefits were confirmed in real-life cohort studies worldwide compared with other glucose-lowering agents. However, real-world data showed that only a minority of eligible patients with T2DM received an SGLT2i, yet encouraging increase was observed in recent years.

Bridging the gap between evidence-based cardiorenal protection with SGLT2is and their underuse in daily clinical practice in patients with T2DM at high risk is crucial from a public health viewpoint.
