For individuals with diabetes mellitus, the lifetime risk of developing a foot ulcer can be as high as 25%, but these complications are preventable. Here, Bowling and colleagues discuss the mechanisms that lead to foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus. The authors emphasise the need for a multidisciplinary management strategy to prevent and treat diabetic foot complications.
