Abstract :
While diabetic foot problem was discussed in many papers throughout the world, unfortunately it has not discussed well in the Arab World. The global epidemic of diabetes has not spared the Arabic-speaking countries; this has not been fully appreciated in the world s literature. In this paper, we clarify why it is more prevalent, less managed and has been associated with worse health outcomes in diabetic patients in the Arab world.
