Diabetic foot: Type ii diabetes is associated with Insulin resistance. Yes, type ii diabetics develop complications with their nerves and arteries that can allow them to develop a diabetic foot.

Anyone with diabetes: Whether they are Insulin dependent, non Insulin dependent can develop a diabetic foot. The only real criteria is to have diabetes and to have a foot.

Yes: By having a "diabetic foot" simply means that you are diabetic and have a foot. A person with diabetes could develop various foot conditions including numbness, foot ulceration, and infection all of which could result in complications. If you are diabetic get yourself educated by a professional so that you know what to do and what not to do in order to prevent potential problems.
