The primary aim of this study published in Reviews in Endocrinology was to evaluate the effectiveness of self-administered, in-home, infrared, temperature probe monitoring to reduce the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes.
Self-evaluation of skin temperature appears to offer a mechanism to identify an early sign of injury when there is still time to avert a wound. Our study suggests that a simple, inexpensive temperature device can lead to reduced foot ulceration in high-risk diabetic patients.
