Introduction: diabetics have special reasons to take care of their feet, the great diversity of their clinical presentation, the increase in their incidence and the prevalence of their complications, the inability to work, the high economic cost and the tragedy of amputation suggest the complexity of their education. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive diabetological education program to reduce the incidence of diabetic foot syndrome. Method: a prospective, applied and quasi-experimental research was carried out in the period from September 2014 to December 2016; an educational program was performed with diabetic patients with Wagner grade 0 risk foot organized in groups of 10 according to the medical consulting to facilitate the development of the activities. The variables were analyzed: age, sex, type of diabetes mellitus, time of evolution of diabetes, control of diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors, family environment, type of injury, triggering factor, imposed treatment, need for home admission and service of urgency and hospital admission. Results: the reduction in the incidence of diabetic foot syndrome was achieved, home admission constituted an early treatment alternative and trauma due to inadequate footwear was the most frequent triggering factor. Conclusion: the interactive model is effective in diabetology education to reduce the incidence of foot injuries in diabetic patients.
