promote an integrated multidisciplinary approach among specialists to manage diabetic foot syndrome
more effectively and comprehensively.
The DF program purposes to talk about the prevention, diagnosis, and management of foot complications
in individuals with diabetes. This program involves education, regular foot exams, and specialized care to
address issues like ulcers, infections, nerve and ischemic damage including through a series of workshops
that follow the principle of hands-on training. They are crucial for reducing amputation rates and

of appropriate footwear, and cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, including conservative surgery,
revascularization, foot management and care, including major bone deformities, innovative therapies of
advanced dressings, and regenerative therapies such as mononuclear cells, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP),
use of amino acids, and autologous cell grafts.
Psychological aspects: attention to psychological support for the patient and family members, given the
disabling nature of the condition, pain (including phantom limb pain), and high risk of depression.
