Diabetic Socks for people living with Diabetes

Diabetic socks are specially designed to keep feet dry, decrease the risk of foot injury, and improve blood circulation. They are as well important in foot care management.

Diabetic mismanagement might result into potential damage to the nervous and poor circulatory systems caused by high blood sugar levels. This leads to nerve damage, decreases sensation in the feet, mostly the soles and increases the risk of injury. It can also cause a person with diabetes not to notice an injury and delay management.

For those who don’t have foot problems, regular socks that are comfortable and fit well are ok although it may be advisable to wear them during, sitting for long hours, walking in and around homes to avoid the danger of swelling or blood clots.
