The Florida Podiatric Medical Society (FPMS), through a funding initiative request care of the Florida Senate and House of Representatives, instituted a diabetic shoe awareness program for fiscal year 2023 - 2024. The primary goal of the diabetic shoe awareness program was to provide education to the public on the importance of diabetic foot care and provide diabetic shoes and socks to Florida's most vulnerable residents. The program prioritized the elderly, people with poor physical health, individuals who are economically disadvantaged, and the physically disabled.

Diabetic shoes help prevent strain, ulcerations, and calluses on the feet. This unique program directly addressed issues that lead to further complications to the medical system.

DSR Consulting & Management, LLC assisted FPMA with this project.
