Foot pressure risks during walking in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with type 2 diabetes develop high pressure on the bottom of their feet while walking. The goal is to find risk factors that may lead to foot problems, so doctors can help prevent them.
