List of terms related to Diabetic sock

Diabetic socks are specially made for diabetics who suffer from a variety of conditions including high blood sugar level, poor circulation, neuropathy (nerve damage), and/or acute sensitivity in their feet all of which can be the source of the development of ulcers (sores) that could become infected and potentially lead to amputation.

These special socks gently conform to the shape of the feet without restricting circulation and they provide an extra layer of protection on pressure sensitive points on the feet (toes, heels, foot pads, ankles) to help minimize skin injuries such as cuts, scraps, blisters, or bruises. Diabetic socks are constructed without seams and are wrinkle-free. They have non-binding in their cuff-tops, moisture wicking properties, and are imbued with anti-microbial agents.

Diabetic socks are made of a variety of fibers; 100% cotton, a cotton blend, bamboo fiber blend, and all synthetic.
