Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients are sent for routine blood tests as part of usual care at Blacktown High Risk Foot Service once off at their initial visit. These blood tests include vitamin C, D and zinc. As part of each visit, ulcer size is measured using a Silhouette Star ulcer camera (ARANZ medical) by a registered podiatrist which takes 30 minutes to complete the full assessment. These visits are 1-4 weeks apart depending on participants needs and the overall duration of observation is 12 months post enrolment. We will be correlating blood levels with ulcer size for any significances.
