Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic socks manufacturers

diabetes

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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Some of the manufacturers that do a commodity business (like t-shirts, or socks, and definitely tights and leggings) advertise there. The prices are right and the color selection and size selections are usually better than in the stores.
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 //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.

Avatar f tn I have been searching for shoes that I can wear without socks. three years and at least 20 pair of shoes later, I am still searching. Any ideas? I have started asking manufacturers, but get ambiguous answers.
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. I too cannot wear socks or shoes or stand to walk on my feet.

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 n tn 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.
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 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?
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 f tn Could an EMG help determaine if you have Diabetic Neuropathy, if the sensory tests fail?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Is there any treatment for idiopathic sensory peripherial neuropathy?(non diabetic) Is there any known cause?
Avatar n tn 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.
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 n tn For the past couple of months I've noticed my toes are going completely numb for no reason at all. It usually happens or maybe that's just when I notice it more when I'm home just working around the house in my socks. It doesn't make sense to me. Another thing that just started happening is, for example I'm out to dinner and my foot will fall asleep. I completely lose all feeling in my ankle and fall to the floor.
Avatar n tn No problems between or on bottoms of toes, and doesnt itch . Doesnt seem to be fungus as I wear mostly sandals or good clean socks Any ideas before i have to go to doc.
