Reflexwear diabetes socks have been tested and recommended by various diabetes associations in Europe. Diabetes patients have a lot to worry about, but they often forget their feet. Yet, almost all diabetes patients sooner or later have to deal with foot problems. Diabetes patients are plagued by foot problems because their diabetes poses 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, increasing the risk of infections because injuries (such as blisters) are not noticed or are noticed too late - Slowed healing process for injuries due to reduced blood circulation - Cold feet - Foot pain and leg pain while walking
What do Reflexwear diabetes socks do?
Reflexwear diabetes socks have a preventative effect and help prevent foot complications in diabetes. Socks for diabetics should have a good, soft fit without creasing, should not constrict, and should have flat, imperceptible seams. Reflexwear diabetes socks naturally offer this.
What makes Reflexwear diabetes socks truly UNIQUE is the use of Celliant yarn and the very high concentration of Celliant yarn. Every sock consists of no less than 90% Celliant yarn. Multiple clinical studies have proven that this yarn ensures better blood circulation and higher oxygen levels in the skin. This makes socks made largely from Celliant yarn extremely suitable for diabetic feet.
