[The magnifying mirror to enable patients with diabetes to self-examine their feet].
The treatment of foot wounds is a real public health issue for patients with diabetes. A specific educational tool has been developed for foot self-examination: the magnifying mirror. Its use, during nurse consultations and in the patient's home, actively contributes to foot wound prevention messages and actions.
