Avatar n tn I have had diabetes for 7 years and recently worked with the diabetes educator at one of my local hospitals as a high school intern. We did a lot of teaching about diabetic socks. Diabetic socks are not a scam. People with diabetes are supposed to wear cotton socks so that the socks breathe. Also diabetic socks are supposed to help with keeping good circulation to the feet. Since people with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet.
Avatar n tn I went to my doctor and he told me that I needed to wear better socks and told about diabetic socks. When I looked on the internet I found out that there are a lot of different diabetic socks out there. One place, www.diabeticsockstore.com has a sock called Smart Knit and they say it is seamless. Have you heard of it? Can you recommend any socks without seams that I can try? I would really appreciate any recommendation you can give me. Thanks- A.
1897455 tn?1321396647 Have you tried compression garments? Diabetic socks? I use both and they help with the pain...I think the best are the socks though. The stockings or regular compression socks might be too tight. I use the Jobst sensifoot diabetic socks....I used to buy them from the medical supply store but they were expensive. I then switched to the walmart brand...they are ok if you are on a budget but found the best quality to be Jobst brand...I found a place online that sell them at the best price. www.

Avatar f tn I have changed my diet done several different things I did find out in the past year that I am a diabetic. The first eight years I did not have diabetes. My grandfather was not diabetic and he had neuropathy to the point he was in a wheelchair the last five years of his life could not wear socks could not wear shoes.

446049 tn?1649005835 Diabetic neuropathy (cold or numb hands or feet) is a common sign of poor circulation in diabetes. Low magnesium is another cause of cold hands or feet. I had this symptom with magnesium deficiency. My feet were freezing! I had severe magnesium deficiency due to a combination of insulin resistance, stress from surgery, high doses of vitamin D. “A deficiency can occur with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but appears to be more prevalent with type 2.
Avatar m tn Hi Naresh , Ejection fraction (Ef) is the fraction of blood pumped out of a ventricle with each heart beat. Normally if not specified , Ef refers to that of left ventricle . If Ef of left and right ventricles are taken they are specified as LVEF and RVEF .Healthy individuals have ejection fractions between 50% and 65%. However, normal values depend upon the modality being used to calculate the ejection fraction. Damage to the muscle of the heart (myocardium), eg.
Avatar f tn If you do not have diabetic socks aces bandages not too tight will also work. walking will help the most walking and more walking along with the hot baths with Epsom Salts. The salts force magnesium into the muscles helping them to relax also Bananas are good for the potassium. Make sure you are drinking a lot of fluids a sports drink to help balance your electrolytes may also help. Congrats on your quit!
Avatar n tn A fasting blood test to test the blood sugar for either insulin resistance, a glucose tolerance test or a hemoglobin A1C can tell the doctor if you are diabetic. But heart problems such as poor circulation can also do this.
Avatar n tn s wearing tight socks). Is this diabetic peripheral neurapathy? He has no other symptoms...excessive thirst, excessive unrinating, etc. He has a doctor's appointment next Tuesday but I want a few answers now. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn For the last few years, I have had increasing numbness and tingling in both my feet. Wearing socks other than diabetic socks causes painful burning. My doctor checked for diabetes, and I was negative, thank God. She said it was likely peripheral neuropathy. For the past several weeks, when walking or even standing still, I have the sensation that I am slipping on ice. I have to grab onto something or someone, because I feel like I am about to fall.
Avatar f tn I am 55 years old, normal weight and health. BUT I could cry with the pain in my feet. The burning goes away if I remove my socks and shoes and soak them in cold water. I have seen a Neurologist, a Podiatrist, acupuncture, and my Family doctor, also a Chiropractor. Someone please help or refer me to someone who can help. When my feet sweat, it is the worst. and they seem to smell when they sweat. The Podiatrist says I do not have a fungal infection.
Avatar m tn t go away she went to the doctor and they did a biopsy to show there was no cancer. Since the biopsy the sore grew into a crusty abrasion. Doctors had her try cortisone, antibiotics and nothing seemed to help. She has been to many doctor and dermatologists, she is most recently scheduled to see a vascular doctor. Please see photo, any advice would be great.
2122807 tn?1560619706 This summer I have a ton of socks. They are mostly white Hanes socks, the kind you get in the packages of six. Most are too big for me. I want to throw them out, but they are brand new looking. Ya know why I have so many socks? Because this time last year I was in withdraw. This time last year my feet and hands would drip sweat non stop 24/7. Any time I could muster the strength to go to the market I bought a pack of socks, as I was using I don't know how many pairs per day.
Avatar n tn I'm a diabetic, I thought foot infections were a diabetic complication. Sorry for misposting.
Avatar f tn Usually blisters on foot are due to friction, one would see them after a long walk or if you have worn a particular shoe for too long or if you have been standing for too long or your shoes was causing friction due to poor padding or you not wearing socks. Chances increase if you have diabetes and hence diabetic neuropathy or if you have a peripheral artery disease (can be known by duplex ultrasound of legs). The treatment is to wear comfortable shoes and foot wear.

Avatar f tn Could an EMG help determaine if you have Diabetic Neuropathy, if the sensory tests fail?
Avatar m tn Then four days ago I took off my socks at the end of the day and my socks were pink, this has happened the past four days. There is nothing I was wearing that would bleed a pink/red color to stain the socks. Two days ago I noticed my underwear are completely stained pink as well, again no clothes i was wearing could cause this. Is there a possibility this is coming from pink sweat? An infection?
