What is diabetic socks?

Diabetic socks are functional socks specially designed for diabetic patients. They are very important for the care of diabetic patients’ feet and can effectively prevent diabetic feet.

Which group need diabetic socks?

For patients with diabetes, it is essentional to choose the right socks. As we all know, diabetes itself is not terrible, but complications, and diabetic foot is one of the most common complications. According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), diabetic foot refers to the lower extremity infection, ulcer formation and/or deep tissue destruction caused by the combination of neuropathy and various peripheral vascular lesions in diabetic patients. Clinically, due to the long-term influence of hyperglycemia in diabetic patients, the lower extremity blood vessels are hardened, the blood vessel wall is thickened and the elasticity is decreased, and the blood vessels are easy to form thrombosis and assemble into plaques, resulting in the occlusion of the lower extremity blood vessels and the damage of the branch nerves, thus causing the lower extremity tissue lesions. The foot, farthest from the heart, is the most occlusive, leading to edema, blackening, decay, necrosis, and gangrene. In serious cases, amputation or even disease is necessary. Therefore, the key to diabetic foot is daily care and protection. For diabetic patients, it is necessary to choose appropriate socks and give adequate care to the foot.

Individual features of diabetic socks

The difference between a pair of diabetic socks and ordinary socks is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

1.Loose cuff for diabetic socks.

Because diabetic patients are affected by high blood glucose for a long time, resulting in poor blood circulation, if the socks are too tight, the skin will be damaged and ulcers will be caused. According to the definition of USA +MD experts, the width of the standard diabetic socks should be maintained at more than 25CM, which can be restored after loosening, so as not to damage the skin.

2. Antibacterial effect for diabetic socks.

The foot of diabetic patients is very fragile, and the skin is easy to be injured. Once infected by bacteria, it will fester and not easy to recover, so the antibacterial function is especially important, so as to kill most of the foot bacteria, protect the foot from bacterial damage, and add an invisible protective net to the foot.

3. Moisture absorption and sweat removal for diabetic socks.

Moisture absorption and perspiration can keep feet dry and inhibit bacterial growth.

4.Keep warm for diabetic socks.

Vascular disease in diabetic patients leads to limb ischemia and peripheral neuropathy and loss of sensation, resulting in the loss of protective sensation in the foot, which makes the patient slow in response to external stimuli, cold in the lower extremities and fear of cold. Therefore, the thermal function can not be ignored for diabetic patients, and can protect the foot from frostbite.

5.Light colors for diabetic soks.

Diabetic socks are generally used in light color, because diabetic patients lose sensation due to limb ischemia and peripheral neuropathy caused by vascular disease, and patients often have no feeling when their foot is injured and bleeding. If light-colored diabetic socks are used, the wound can be found in time and the harm can be reduced.

Custom diabetic socks we made

1.Materials and sizes: Usually we use pure cotton and bamboo raw material to produce diabetic socks. And we supply kids size and adults size(women size and men size).

2.Great elastic cuff: The cuff can be strethched to 23cm easily.

3.With cushion sole and light color: Diabetic socks with cushion sole can keep diabetic patients foot warm, and soft. Light color is easy to find diabetic patients’ wound, and treat as soon as possible.
