The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse led intervention for high risk patients with diabetic foot ulceration and/or amputation.

The effectiveness is defined in two ways 1) as a reduction in complication rates (time till ulceration recurrence, new ulcerations, amputation or reamputation) and 2) as a reduction in hospital readmissions for foot-related complication (one year survival probability: failure = readmission for ulceration recurrence, new ulcerations, amputation or re-amputation).
