Core Tip	This retrospective cohort study investigates factors influencing diabetic foot (DF) in type 2 diabetes patients. Key findings highlight that increased body mass index, longer diabetes duration, elevated plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, as well as complications like diabetic neuropathy, are positively associated with DF occurrence. Additionally, a low Attitudes Toward Medical Help Seeking Scale score and delayed medical care over 3 months correlate with DF. These insights underscore the importance of proactive diabetes management and timely medical intervention to prevent DF, with the study's predictive model demonstrating strong diagnostic potential (area under the curve = 0.933).
