Abstract

Despite their elevated risk for cardiovascular complications, two-thirds of patients with diabetes-related foot ulceration in this contemporary real-world study were not achieving guideline-recommended goals for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Implementation research is needed to identify the barriers and facilitators to optimal lipid management in this high priority population.
