We thank Arsene Hobabagabo and Anne Sumner for highlighting the urgent issue of foot care in people living with diabetes in humanitarian settings. We agree that this is an often neglected and underappreciated component of diabetes care in populations undergoing forced migration, including in Africa. Unfortunately, data on this topic are scarce. This limitation was evident in the first Series paper on diabetes in humanitarian crises, in which none of the studies identified in our search of the scientific literature reported on foot care in this region. Only five studies included any mention of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic foot, or amputations.^{,  ,  ,  ,}  Four of these studies assessed data from UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees programmes,^{,  ,  ,}  which address the medical needs of a long-term and relatively stable population and are not representative of acute crisis situations.

糖尿病患者的强迫迁徙和足部护理-作者的回复。

我们感谢Arsene Hobabagabo和Anne Sumner强调了人道主义环境中糖尿病患者脚部护理的紧迫问题。我们同意，在包括非洲在内的遭受强迫移民的人群中，这是糖尿病护理中经常被忽视和忽视的组成部分。不幸的是，有关该主题的数据很少。这种局限性在关于人道主义危机中的糖尿病的第一系列论文中很明显，该论文中，我们在搜索该地区足部护理的科学文献中没有发现任何研究。只有五项研究没有提及周围神经病变，糖尿病足或截肢。^{，  ，  ，  ，} 这些研究的四个评估来自联合国救济和工程处巴勒斯坦难民的程序数据，^{，  ，  ，} 这解决了长期的医疗需求和相对稳定的人群，并不代表严重的危机局势。
