Abstract
In this population, longer diabetes duration, insulin use, lower hemoglobin levels and non-Saudi nationality were associated with higher prevalence of foot complications. These associations were largely explained by the presence of DPN and PAD except for non-Saudi nationality. Diabetes patients with both DPN and PAD had nearly 10-fold increased risk of foot complications than those with neither condition.
