Foot temperature test for people with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two devices that measure the temperature of the bottom of your feet. The goal is to see if they give the same readings, which could help doctors detect foot problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- The skin on the bottom of your feet is intact (no open sores or ulcers).
- You can sit or lie with your upper body raised at a slight angle for about 15 minutes.
