Why do diabetics need diabetic socks?
Aside from having to monitor blood sugar and insulin levels, diabetics are at risk for foot problems and injuries. If not taken care of properly, diabetes can cause two major foot problems.
- Diabetic neuropathy is the inability to feel heat, cold, pain, or cuts on feet.
- Peripheral vascular diabetes affects blood flow and prevents cuts and sores from healing properly.
Diabetic socks are a crucial part in every diabetic foot care regimen. Typically soft and made of fabrics that will keep your feet warm, diabetic socks will improve circulation and help you avoid these diabetic foot problems.
Wear diabetic socks if…
- You have diabetes and experience wet foot moisture or sweaty feet
- You have diabetes and have experienced or are experiencing changes in foot color, temperature, redness, irritation, nerve damage, blisters or fungus
- You have diabetes and are traveling long distances and will be seated for a long time
- You are pregnant and have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes
Talk to your health care professional for advice and recommendations on using diabetic socks.
What are diabetic socks?
Diabetic socks are specially designed to keep the feet dry, decrease the risk of a foot injury, and avoid preventing or slowing blood circulation.
Diabetic socks differ from your regular run-of-the-mill cotton socks because diabetic socks are made from superior moisture-wicking fabrics, and cotton traps moisture. They are also non-elastic and seamless to reduce the constriction that often occurs in swelling, which can limit blood flow and cause foot problems.
Diabetic socks are also commonly white in color so diabetics can clearly see any foot injuries if they were to occur.
Benefits of Diabetic Socks
- Seamless to reduce the risk of irritation and blisters
- Keep feet warm to improve circulation in your feet
- Moisture-wicking and antimicrobial to keep feet dry and healthy
- Non-binding to reduce constriction and swelling
- Extra padding for sensitive foot areas to help prevent foot injuries and reduce/eliminate pressures or hot spots
