Compression socks are an effective way to protect diabetic feet. We know that diabetes is a disease caused by excessive glucose (sugar) in the blood. When insulin, which is a hormone that helps glucose enter cells to provide energy, doesn't work properly or the body doesn't produce it at all, a serious problem arises in the body, because without insulin or proper usage, glucose remains in the bloodstream. This excess sugar in the blood causes long-term problems in the eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
Specifically, the nerves most affected are those in the feet, which gradually leads to insensitivity in the lower extremities. When this happens, injuries can occur without the patient noticing. If the nerves are involved, some symptoms include: numbness in the feet and toes, sharp pain that may worsen at night, tingling or burning sensations, muscle weakness, and the formation of ulcers.
When nerves are atrophied, it is very common to suffer injuries unnoticed, such as abrasions from shoes. The problem with diabetes is that due to excess glucose in the blood, the immune system is weakened, which makes healing difficult. It also increases the risk of infection, even from minor wounds, which complicates the healing process. Therefore, daily foot inspection is essential for people with diabetes.
Diabetic socks are specially made for diabetic feet. Their function is to keep the feet safe from external factors that may harm them. Here are some characteristics that differentiate them from regular socks:
