Adherence to diabetic foot care recommendations and associated factors among people with diabetes in Eastern Ethiopia: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

More than two-fifths of people with diabetes had inadequate adherence to diabetic foot care recommendations. Younger age, rural residence, absence of comorbidity, obesity and inadequate foot care knowledge were significantly associated with inadequate adherence to diabetic foot care recommendations. It is very essential to educate people with diabetes about the importance of foot care recommendations in preventing and delaying the risks of foot-related problems and complications.
