About

Why feet matter

The Foot in Diabetes exists for one reason: too many people lose limbs to a disease whose worst outcomes are so often preventable.

Rob's story

The Foot in Diabetes was founded by Rob Menzies, a podiatrist and limb preservation specialist. In years of clinical practice he kept seeing the same thing: whether a foot problem heals or ends in amputation usually comes down to knowledge. A clinician who checks the right thing at the right moment. A patient who recognises a warning sign early enough to act on it.

Closing that gap takes education that clinicians can trust and patients can actually use. It also has to reach people where they are, which is why the same material becomes a podcast episode, an article, and a structured programme used in clinics.

How the pieces fit together

This website is the front door. From here the work spreads across:

  • The podcast and articles, right here: conversations and plain-language education for clinicians and patients.
  • The Foot in Diabetes Journal, a peer-reviewed academic journal for research in diabetic foot disease.
  • The LimbWise programme, a structured capability framework for clinicians covering 20 dimensions of diabetic foot practice, with quiz and capability apps to support learning.

The Foot in Diabetes Ltd is a UK company registered in England & Wales. Rob works internationally, and the message is the same everywhere: feet deserve more attention than they get.
