Challenges
People with diabetes are at higher risk of foot injuries due to potential damage to their circulatory and nervous systems caused by high blood sugar levels. Nerve damage, or neuropathy, decreases sensation and increases the risk of injury, especially on the bottom of the feet. It can also cause a person with diabetes to be unaware of an injury and delay treatment. Clearly, foot care is an extremely important consideration for someone with diabetes.
A person with diabetes should wear specialised diabetic socks as it is very different from regular socks. Regular socks are typically made from cotton, which can trap moisture. They may be too tight or loose-fitting, which can increase friction causing blisters. Diabetic socks can help people with diabetes who are prone to foot injuries.
Solution
Heelium diabetic socks are specially designed to keep your feet dry, decrease the risk of foot injury, and avoid preventing or slowing blood circulation. They are made of bamboo fibers that have superior moisture wicking properties. The top elastane is extremely flexible and elastic that help the diabetic socks reduce the constriction that often occurs in swelling, which can limit blood flow.
Heelium diabetic socks may be helpful in the following conditions:
1. If you have diabetes and have experienced irritation, nerve damage, blisters.
2. If you have diabetes and have foot moisture or sweat, as these specialized socks keep your feet dry by wicking moisture.
3. If you have diabetes and are traveling long distances and will be seated for a long time (such as in a car, plane, or train), these socks can help promote proper circulation and reduce swelling while you’re on the go.
It is always advisable to talk to your doctor or health care professional for recommendations on using diabetic socks.
