How to fill out a diabetic foot update:

1. Start by gathering the necessary information about the patient's diabetic condition, including their medical history, current medications, and any previous foot complications or surgeries.

3. Assess the patient's foot care routine and adherence to diabetic foot care guidelines. Inquire about their daily foot hygiene practices, use of appropriate footwear, and regular podiatry visits.
4. If the patient has any existing foot complications, thoroughly examine and record the severity, healing progress, and treatment plan for those conditions.
5. Include any relevant lab test results, such as blood glucose levels, HbA1c, and peripheral vascular studies, to provide a comprehensive overview of the patient's diabetic control and foot health.
6. Collaborate with other healthcare professionals involved in the patient's care, such as podiatrists, endocrinologists, and wound care specialists, to ensure a holistic approach to diabetic foot management.
7. Finally, summarize your findings and recommendations for the patient's diabetic foot care, including any necessary referrals or adjustments to their treatment plan.
