Diabetic socks medicare
Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic socks medicare
diabetes
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.
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-

I am a 65 year old male type 1 diabetic since the age of 19. My retirement insurance is changing to medicare options. I have had Medicare a and b for several years with a supplement group insurance for prescriptions and doctors visit and hospitalization costs through my retirement company. My problem is the prescription options with the medicare prescription coverage is the gap. I will definitely reach and surpass the gap due to my insulin costs.
My HMO does under its medicare plan which is associated with Medicare. Medicare covers my chiropractor who is outside of my HMO, so I would check into Medicare coverage of acupuncture. Just might be there.
"If I may ask, what is your ailment?"
I am a medicinally induced diabetic, meaning my diabetes was and is being caused by side effects of a medicine I take for the rest of my life to prevent my immune system from rejecting my transplanted liver [hepatoma carcinoma].
//www.medscape.com/viewarticle/846334. It does state that wearing the compression socks is often recommended and safe. However, again, please do consult with your own physician. Best of health to you.
s difficult to get to a doctor, and Medicare is limiting, but Medicare should cover a visit to an endocrinologist/diabetes specialist. Such a specialist should be able to tell if you are suffering from diabetic neuropathy or not, and help you figure out what to do about it.
I have known diabetics who have had neuropathy symptoms and even started losing their eyesight but were able to recover both sensation and sight with good control and care.
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. I too cannot wear socks or shoes or stand to walk on my feet.
Hello Meghan23,
We are volunteers here and not medical professionals. We have a lot of experience with Type 1 diabetes.
Has your son been diagnosed with diabetes? I ask because it's not clear if he is diabetic or if you ended up in the wrong forum.
In general, I'd suggest you work with your doctor and follow his advice. Ask him what this 'condition' is called so you can read up on it and ease your worries.
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!

I will call my surgeon Tuesday if it continues. I am diabetic and want to ward off any problems. I also hope to start chemotherapy in the next week or two as soon as my new Medicare PPO advantage takes effect and want to be completely healed and AOK.. Any answers will be very appreciated.
Edema can be caused by many different factors. Although in many cases benign, I would see a dr. about this. Is there anything else going on with the swelling? Are you diabetic, are you on any medications, are any of your limbs painful/turning blue? Do you have any history of liver or kidney problems? The best thing to do would be to call the surgeon who performed the cholecystectomy and ask him for his impression.
He is still in the hospital. Part is because he is diabetic and they have to get that regulated but the doctor just told him he has an irregular heart beat and they may have to go back in. He never had one before the surgery and is feeling fine, walking the halls, eating good and wants to go home.I know he is scared and who wouldn't be, but what could cause this and why the need to possibly go back in?
Could this be a temporary thing? He is only 8 months away from getting on medicare.
She feels hypoglycemic and talks irrelevant regarding different home care matters like what care has to be taken for my daughter what about my fathers medicare? blah blah blah.... For your kind information she is diabetic for a year but sugar was under full control for the last 8 months.
No, she don't have kidney prob. with this medicine after half an hour she gets hypoglycemic. She was on diet what I requested her to stop immediately.
Is there any treatment for idiopathic sensory peripherial neuropathy?(non diabetic) Is there any known cause?
You have developed diabetic neuropathy, and from here on in have to take special care of your feet. Wear comfortably loosely fitting shoes and only fresh white socks. Never wear socks more than a day. Inspect your feet daily and have the toenails trimmed by a podiatrist. Immediately see a podiatrist at the slightest infection. And see a podiatrist regularly, in any event. 1000 mg of omega-3 fish oils and a slow-release niacin tablet once a day will help with microcirculation.
