The close follow-up and patient’s compliance are key in preventing DFU, and one of the main factors is the continuous use of Therapeutic Footwear during the whole day, regardless of the patient being at home or outside. To maintain this recommendation is quite difficult during quarantine, we should keep in contact with the patients and explain to them how important it is to keep their feet protected. Additionally, the development of some complications such as foot infection could increase the risk of limb loss more during these days.
