This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a special boot fitted with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a way to prevent diabetic foot problems before they develop. Photobiomodulation, the medical term for this light therapy, has already shown promise in helping heal foot wounds in people with diabetes—but this study wants to see if it can actually stop problems from starting in the first place. You would wear the boot for just 6 minutes each day for 2 months, along with standard foot care education.
Diabetic foot complications are serious and common, affecting quality of life and sometimes leading to amputation. While doctors have good prevention strategies in place, researchers believe that adding this light therapy treatment might provide extra protection for people at higher risk—and this study will find out if that's true.

You would visit the research site to start the study and have your feet examined and tested for nerve damage and circulation problems. Then you would wear the special LED boot at home for 6 minutes each day for 2 months. You'll return to the clinic after 30 days for a check-up, and again at 60 days for a full examination including blood and urine tests, nerve and circulation assessments, and questions about your quality of life. The whole study lasts about 2 months.
