diabetic socks new zealand

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- A.

To prevent diabetic foot ulcers,he should have good foot hygiene, wear diabetic socks and shoes, and avoid injury.A consultation of a podiatrist will be the best. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your husband is doing or if you have any additional doubts.

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.

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.

//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.

My Type 1 daughter, who is nearly 5, has had diabetes for almost a year. Over our winter (southern hemisphere June-August) she has had several bouts of vomiting, only once with diaohrrea. She goes low quickly and develops high ketones over a period of hours, which always ends up with us being admitted to the local children's hospital for her to go on a glucose drip to get her BGLs high enough to administer insulin to then bring the ketones down.

Any other new zealand mummies to be out there? Im 24 and 18/4 due 7th June with my first. Just wondering if anyone else is from NZ as ive only been living here a few months and maternity care is all totally different from the UK.

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.

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.

I am an insulin dependent diabetic with severe neuropathy and loss of feeling in feet. I am currently wearing a gps tracker around my ankle that is rubbing the skin raw. it doesnt hurt , but I almost lost a foot last year to infection and injury on one foot. the bracelet moves around , I have tried different socks and positions with little or no effect, interested in input as to what medical problems could continue to worsen or get better. fell like this is abuse.

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!
