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.
- You haven't applied any lotions, creams, or powders to your feet in the 4 hours before the test.
- You haven't had intense physical activity, hydrotherapy, caffeine, or tobacco within 2 hours before the test.

This study measures how hard and thick a foot callus (plantar hyperkeratosis) is in people with and without diabetes. It uses a gentle, noninvasive device to see if the callus characteristics differ between groups, which may help prevent future foot problems.
This study is testing a new device that measures blood sugar without a finger prick. It is open to healthy adults and people with type 2 diabetes, to see if the non-invasive meter works as well as standard blood tests.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
This study tests whether a non-invasive temperature scan (thermography) can help prevent or detect diabetic foot problems early. If you have diabetes, you may be able to join the group receiving the scan.
This study uses a device to measure pressure on the bottom of your feet to find early signs of skin damage from diabetes. It may help prevent foot ulcers by catching problems sooner.
This study tests a new device called Feetsee that helps monitor foot health in people with diabetes. It may help catch foot problems early.
