Socks when you have diabetes

Short answer: A seamless toe, a soft cuff with no tight elastic and a material that keeps the foot dry. Always follow your own clinician's advice.

Why the foot needs extra attention

Reduced sensation in the feet means a pressure point or a developing blister is not felt in time. That is why it matters that the sock creates no pressure anywhere.

What the sock needs

A flat or seamless toe, a wide rib knitted cuff that does not squeeze, and a material that moves moisture away from the skin. See bamboo socks for men.

The routine that matters most

Change socks every day and look at your feet while you do it. That is the simplest way to spot something in time. See bamboo socks for women and bamboo trainer socks for men.
