Diabetes causes blood sugar levels to be higher than normal. Over time, this can damage blood vessels and nerves, resulting in a burning pain or loss of feeling in the feet. Diabetic nerve damage is referred to as neuropathy and affects more than 65% of people with diabetes. If you have numbness in your feet and cannot feel pain, its possible to walk around with injuries without noticing and this can lead to more serious problems. About 70% of diabetic foot ulcers are the result of a minor injury in a numb foot. If a foot ulcer is not treated properly, it may lead to amputation. Nearly 54,000 people with diabetes have amputations each year. It is important to take care of your feet, wear comfortable shoes, and choose socks that are comfortable and protective.

Keeping the blood flow to your feet is crucial. The best way to enhance circulation is to stay active. Walking is the best exercise for your feet and your overall health. When walking and exercising, it is important to absorb impact by walking on soft surfaces or wearing cushioned, soft socks. The Dia-Flow sock is made of a soft, Wick-Spun acrylic that helps cushion the foot and prevent blisters. It also features mild compression, which helps to stabilize the sock and increase blood flow. Socks are important in foot care; you can have the most expensive orthotics and the best shoes on the market, but if your socks are not quality, you have wasted valuable time and money.
