Diabetic Socks

Foot Smart has the largest range of diabetic socks online!

Specially designed diabetic socks help prevent blood from collecting in the feet and lower legs, which could potentially cause infection. Diabetic socks are made from a thick, soft material that provide cushion on the feet. This prevents slow healing ulcers and blisters caused by the continuous rubbing of shoes. Diabetic socks usually have little or no seams to protect against injuries. The material of the diabetic sock should both absorb moisture, and keep feet warm. Doing this helps prevent fungal infections and increase blood circulation through out the entire leg. Skin problems in diabetics are common because of nerve damage and dry skin. These problems often cause a loss of sensation in the skin, which can lead to even more problems. A loss in sensation will consequently make it harder to notice skin irritation until it becomes much more severe. The most common feature in diabetic socks are ones which extend to the knee. This provides ideal total leg support, and is a very helpful feature. Diabetic socks are generally inexpensive, however you can get your socks paid for through your healthcare provider. I recommend diabetic socks, as they can make life a whole lot easier for you if you're diabetic.
