Socks for Diabetic
Nearly 21 million Americans are afflicted with diabetes. For diabetics, there’s more to life than just managing blood sugar. It’s also about maintaining an active lifestyle.
Without proper foot care, it is almost impossible to maintain the level of activity necessary and recommended for a diabetic’s well being. Whether it’s ensuring mobility, protection, or comfort, people with diabetes have special needs when it comes to choosing proper footwear. Because of the disease, a diabetic’s feet and legs are at a high risk for loss of sensation (neuropathy), reduced circulation, delayed wound healing, and infection. These potential complications can lead to serious health care complications. SmartKnit Seamless Diabetic Socks are the first layer of protection against wounds and infection.
These Diabetic Socks are designed for performance and prevention. The seam-free design protects the feet by helping reduce the risk of skin irritations and diabetic foot ulcers. The patented form-fitting design ensures that the socks fit like a second skin—they don’t wrinkle or bunch. The stretchable Halo Top(no binding elastic band) helps prevent the socks from cutting into the leg, causing painful indentations.
High-tech CoolMax or X-STATIC fibers wick-away moisture helping to ensure a drier and more hygienic sock environment. X-STATIC silver fibers further help reduce odor-causing bacteria and athlete’s foot fungus.
