Dangers of Diabetic Foot
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that, without proper preventative care, can damage various body systems. One part of the body which is particularly sensitive to problems stemming from diabetes is the foot.
Diabetes often results in nerve damage and reduced blood circulation in the feet, causing significant loss of sensation, a condition called neuropathy. This loss of sensation means that diabetics do not have the full benefit of the body’s early-warning signs when a problem begins to develop. The resulting lack of awareness often leads to deterioration of the skin and flesh of the foot, where small irritations rapidly escalate into bigger problems, such as blisters, calluses, corns and infections. The speed and frequency with which these relatively minor conditions develop into serious medical complications, such as ulcers and gangrene, are also much higher than in people without diabetes.
Furthermore, people with diabetes are in a very-high-risk category for microbial infections in the foot. Without the ongoing supervision and care of a certified medical pedicurist, corns and calluses will harden and crack, rapidly becoming open sores which are prone to infection and ulcers. Neglecting open sores and infections can ultimately lead to gangrene, requiring amputation of toes or even an entire foot. In fact, more than 60% of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes,1 and diabetic foot wounds are the leading cause of lower extremity amputations.
The Ultimate Therapeutic Sock
There is one sock available on the market which implements every recommendation and addresses every problem facing the diabetic foot, which is our Ultimate Therapeutic Sock.
Years of Extensive Research Combined with Swiss Innovation
Our sock have been developed through close collaboration among medical specialists, textile engineers and people with diabetes. Years of extensive research combined with Swiss innovation have produced a sock which specifically mitigates all the risk factors impacting the feet of diabetics.
This intensive research and development has produced a unique sock which functions like a “second skin,” perfectly adapting to the anatomy and movements of each unique foot. This sock eliminates foot/shoe friction and irritation, actively draws moisture away from the foot, combats odor- and infection-causing bacteria and fungi, does not place excessive pressure on the skin and stays perfectly in place all day long. The result is maximum foot protection, comfort and health.
