Cover Story: In our article, we debate the utility of reassessing the risk of foot complications in people with diabetes in a primary care setting. We found that at the two-year follow-up, less than 4% progress to a higher risk status according to the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot classification. However, at the same time, there is a 2.6% regression, which may indicate concerns about the reliability of this classification. Our study supports the idea that foot risk reassessments can be every two years instead of yearly in this setting. View this paper
