Diabetic foot ulcer is the most serious complication of diabetes. In addition to diabetic peripheral neuropathy and lower extremity vascular disease, diabetic foot pressure abnormality is an independent risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers. This review summarizes the relationship between plantar pressure and diabetes, including the concept of the plantar pressure and its measurement methods, as well as the abnormal changes in the plantar pressure of diabetic patients. In addition, through the explanation of the mechanism of diabetic patients’ plantar pressure changes, the methods of releasing the abnormal plantar pressure are discussed, so as to prevent and treat the diabetic foot ulcers, and improve our understanding of it.
