DIABETIC SOCK LANDSCAPE

The rise in the number of diabetic neuropathy cases is escalating the growth of diabetic socks market. (Diabetes can be defined as a chronic disease, which happens when the pancreas fails to create insulin or when the body does not efficiently use the insulin that is created.)

• Diabetes affects circulation by causing damage to the body's blood vessels
• Diabetics suffer from diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease.
• Neuropathy causes one to lose feeling in the legs and feet by damaging the nerves.
• Without proper functioning nerves, one cannot sense if something is too hot or too cold or if they have a cut or sore on their feet. Not knowing this can lead to serious infections and complications.
• When diabetes injures the blood vessels that supply nerves in the feet or legs, a foot ulcer can develop, a cut or blister can occur and become affected as a result. Limited blood flow makes healing very difficult 

DIABETIC SOCKS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO …

• Decrease the risk of foot injury
• Enhance blood flow in the lower leg and foot
• Keep feet dry, minimize moisture accumulation
• Reduce the burning and stabbing sensations from peripheral neuropathy
• Revert rubbing that might lead to a blister
• Mitigate the pain and numbness that is commonly linked to nerve damage

People with diabetes are more prone to developing medical issues with their feet and lower leg.

Individuals with Neuropathy (lack of sensation of the nerve ending in foot) often do not realize that their foot has sustained an injury because they can not feel it. The decrease in blood circulation in nerves slows down the healing of any sores or cut and thus increases the chances of developing ulcers.

DIABETIC SOCKS...

• Are made without top elastic that can cut off circulation and restrict blood flow to the feet
• Have the ability to stretch and fit most calf sizeswithout binding and restricting the circulation the leg
• Have a loose fit top, the socks will stay up and not sag
• Rarely leave the telltale red ring around the calf that other socks do

Are easier to put on and take off for both young people and the elderly.
