Diabetes is characterised by increased blood sugar levels
, nerve function damage in the extremities and poor blood circulation. A diabetic has diminished sensation due to nerve damage. Because of that, injuries on feet are often times not recognised, left untreated and has increased risk for developing infections, this can then lead to pooling of the blood in the lower parts of the leg and in turn this leads to clots and thrombosis'.
When diabetics develop cuts and wounds within their foot or legs the poor circulation of blood in that area leads to healing becoming very slow and sometimes non existent. Good circulation is needed to promote damaged tissue repairs, but the blockage of a diabetics arteries limits the transport blood to where it is needed meaning that the wounds become worse. For diabetics, special care for the feet is very important, and most will try any means necessary to help this.
There are now special socks that diabetics can wear to help the circulation of blood from their feet to their heart and lungs. The compression socks are specifically made from fabric that allows the skin to breath so that irritation is very minimal. Blood pooling is just as serious a condition as bad circulation for diabetics. Compression stockings can help diabetics with both blood pooling and blood circulation problems.
They are specially-designed to apply pressure to promote circulation. The pressure that is placed upon the leg from the socks will not be painful or uncomfortable, it will actually feel very therapeutic. Compression socks are effective in helping anyone with diabetes and if you feel you need to be assisted in this way then do not hesitate in purchasing a pair right away.
The socks are also Thermodynamic which in turn help to regulate foot temperature, and it also helps in neutralising the Ammonia that causes skin infection. They are also Anti-Bacterial with a nano-silver technology. Also when used with the Australian Cold pressed Jojoba Oil (Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal) they represent the complete foot /leg care for Diabetics.
