Reflexwear diabetic socks have been tested and recommended by various diabetes associations in Europe. Diabetic patients have a lot to worry about but often forget their feet, even though almost all diabetic patients will sooner or later face foot problems. Diabetic patients are plagued by foot problems because their diabetes puts them at two major risks:
- Atherosclerosis: a hardening of the blood vessels causes reduced blood circulation - Neuropathy: this involves a loss of sensation in the feet, which occurs because diabetes can damage the nervous system
What problems can you experience as a result?
- Reduced sweat secretion, resulting in extremely dry skin - Reduced pain sensation, which increases the risk of infections because injuries (e.g., blisters) are not noticed or are noticed too late - Slowed healing process of injuries due to reduced blood circulation - Cold feet - Foot pain and leg pain while walking
What do Reflexwear diabetic socks do?
Reflexwear diabetic socks have a preventative effect and help to avoid foot complications in diabetes. Socks for diabetics should have a good, soft fit without folds, should not constrict, and must have flat, non-perceptible seams. Naturally, Reflexwear diabetic socks offer this.
What truly makes Reflexwear diabetic socks UNIQUE is the use of Celliant yarn and the very high concentration of Celliant yarn. Each sock consists of no less than 90% Celliant yarn. Multiple clinical studies have proven that this yarn ensures better blood flow and a higher oxygen level in the skin. This makes socks made largely from Celliant yarn extremely suitable for diabetic feet.
