Diabetic Socks for Men:
Getting on with Life with Foot Protection
Diabetes can strike anytime and the hardest hit are men because they are prone to feet problems linked to the disease. Each year, there are more than 82,000 amputations reported among people with diabetes and it all begins with a blister that develops into a deep wound. Can diabetic socks for men help?
The Scourge of Diabetes
Diabetes occurs when the body ignores the insulin in the body or when there is an abnormally high level of blood sugar in the system. The condition can be genetic or acquired.
Complications of the disease can range from cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and impaired nerves. But amputation of the leg is a dreaded consequence of the disease; hence, diabetics should pay close attention to their feet.
Because there is an absence of sensation in the feet, the diabetic cannot detect a blister forming on a heel or on any other part of the feet. Poor blood circulation adds to the problem because it delays the healing the blister or contributes to the festering of an infection.
When a person has the disease, the immune system is also suppressed, hindering the response of white blood cells to attack infections; other related complications are atherosclerosis or hardening of the arterial walls, high levels of cholesterol, and high blood pressure
Protection from Diabetic Socks
Men should double their efforts to pay careful attention to the health of their feet, as they are more prone to develop feet blisters compared to women. Part of their feet care is to wear properly fitting shoes and diabetic socks for men.
Diabetic socks for men provide the best protection, comfort. These are moisture-proofed to prevent the infections caused by bacteria and feet odor. These are padded to give added protection against blisters and lastly the tops of the socks are loose to allow for better blood circulation in the feet and legs.
The best fabrics for men's socks are cotton and wool. Cotton is often combined with elastic fabrics and should be the main component because it is gentle on the skin and allows the skin to breathe. All diabetic socks are seamless to prevent abrasions on the feet.
Some diabetic socks for men are bolstered with colloidal silver particles woven into the sock's insole. The silver draws away and absorbs the moisture that would have harmed the feet.
How to Choose Diabetic Socks for Men
Before shopping for the diabetic socks, ask the doctor's recommendation. Other considerations should be:
Diabetic socks vary in sizes and lengths. The best socks should fit and lengths should be selected for their appropriateness for different sports or activities. If more support is needed for the calf, choose calf-length socks. There are more choices than over the calf or under, crew socks and quarter socks.
Cushioning and support socks should be comfortable and gentle on the feet. There are gel padded socks that absorbs shock and offer extra cushioning. Padded and cushioned socks are available for different needs.
Cuffs should be elastic free to prevent the pinching of the leg worsening poor circulation in the legs and feet.
With the protection of these socks, men can go on with their lives. They can still enjoy safe sports and fun activities with family and friends.
