Among all late complications of diabetes, those involving the foot have traditionally required more face-to-face patient visits to clinics [1]. The COVID-19 (corona virus infectious disease) pandemic has resulted in the closing of most outpatient clinics for face-to-face consultations. Unfortunately, the enormous focus on COVİD-19 has also led to disregard of many other conditions [2]. This has resulted in a paradigm shift in the delivery of care for those with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which appears to be very important, granted that especially subjects with DFUs require urgent treatment in order to prevent amputations and decrease mortality [3].
