Diabetic Socks
The Ultimate Protection vs. Foot Infections Lower
amputations due to diabetes are a growing concern in the USA and doctors
are recommending the use of diabetic socks to prevent the onset of
blisters and sores that can lead to serious complications in diabetic
patients.
Diabetic Socks, Defined
Wearing shoes can cause a diabetic harm. The lack of sensation in the
feet deters the diabetic from sensing the presence of blisters or
irritations on the feet caused by moisture. Because there is poor blood
circulation in the feet, the blister develops fast into ulcers or deep
wounds. To protect the feet, diabetic socks are recommended.
Diabetic socks are chiefly synthetic materials or a combination of
cotton, nylon, and elastic fibers. These are seamless to prevent any
undue pressure on the skin and are padded for added cushioning and
comfort. The design of these socks prevents compression in the feet and
lower leg area already affected by poor circulation; and as a rule,
these socks should keep the feet cool and dry at all times.
Diabetes and Diabetic Socks
When diabetes strikes, the feet get much of the punishment.
Sensation is diminished due to nerve damage and impaired blood
circulation.
When a blister occurs, even a pimple-sized blister, this can create
complications that may lead to unavoidable lower limb or foot
amputation.
The damage to the nerves is caused by or may be triggered by the
combination of the following factors: high blood glucose, damaged blood
vessels, and inflammation linked to diabetes.
To prevent feet problems, diabetic socks have thicker padding, are looser than regular socks, and have wider cuffs.
The looseness of the socks prevents compression on the lower legs and feet, promoting blood circulation in these areas.
Since these socks should be worn at all times, they should be extremely comfortable.
Recommended materials for diabetic socks are cotton or wool, which help the feet breathe.
