Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are multiple studies conducted in Pakistan that supports the topic of foot care knowledge among individual with type 2 diabetes but all are descriptive cross-sectional studies and investigators cannot develop cause effect relationship out of it. Secondly, there is a lack of documented research on the foot care knowledge shown by people with T2D residing in the slums of Karachi. In order to assess the knowledge intervention among the individual having T2D through qualified diabetes educators and pictorial educational pamphlet along with the standard care of treatment. Consequently, it may aid in the development of effective methods aimed at mitigating foot-related complications among this specific population. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes are required to engage in proactive and structured self-care activities by providing the foot care knowledge in order to effectively manage their condition and mitigate the risk of potential complications. The incorporation of health-deviation knowledge and activities into routine is crucial.
