A dress does not fit everyone

Abstract

We have read with interest the manuscript of Miranda and Da Ros, which was recently published in this Journal.1 We completely agree with the Authors that education of the patient with diabetes mellitus regarding foot care is effective for the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration.1‒3 Importantly, this is even more evident when such education is structured, organized, repetitive, and combined with multiple preventive interventions.1‒3 However, we believe that another relevant (albeit not much acknowledged) aspect should be considered regarding this issue.
