Diabetes is a condition where the body can’t process sugars in a regular
way. This can cause problems for the entire body, including de-sensitized extremities,
poor eyesight, damage to the heart, kidneys, nerves, and veins. If you have diabetes,
you should be seeing a physician regularly.
One of the complications of diabetes is the feet become numb, and circulation
is reduced, meaning that small cuts, bruises, or blisters can take a long time
to heal. This can lead to ulcerations on the feet, infections, and if left untreated,
amputations. It is very important for a diabetic to have soft, seamless socks
and hose to reduce the risk of damage to the feet. This is exacerbated by a increased
vlunerability to fungal infections, like athlete’s foot and chronic foot
odor.
We recommend SilverlineDB socks, which combine
soft, fitted comfort to reduce the risk of skin ulcerations, with X-Static® silver
plated nylon for it’s excellent anti-microbial effects. |
