The CARE-D-Foot-Nav study is a test to see if having a patient helper, called a navigator, can improve healing for people with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs are sores or wounds on the foot that don't heal well in people with diabetes, and they can lead to amputations if not treated properly. The study focuses on helping patients get the care they need to heal better. Navigators will be healthcare workers like diabetes educators or dietitians who will guide patients over 20 weeks. They will talk to patients by phone or in person for 30-60 minutes at least once a week. They will help find resources, and patients might get help with transportation or medical supplies if needed. This study will look at how well this program works and if it can be used more widely to help others.

• The study lasts for 20 weeks with weekly check-ins.
• Participants might receive extra support like transportation and wound care supplies.
• Eligible participants must be English-speaking adults with diabetes and have had a foot-related amputation.
