What are diabetic classic socks?

Our Diabetic Copper-Based Classic Socks from Glucology are non-binding diabetes socks crucial to better health and prevention of complications of the lower legs and sensitive diabetic feet. They feature therapeutic properties to reduce pressure in the calf and foot, minimise moisture accumulation, and protect from blisters, friction rubs, fungal infections and ulcers.

The socks have extra padding and cushioning at sensitive pressure points such as the heel and toes to prevent injury from friction. At the same time, the special fibre technology offers more moisture-wicking ability, keeping the feet dry and comfortable.

Copper-based socks help with neuropathy in diabetes

Neuropathy in diabetes leads to dry skin due to reduced secretion of sweat and often also reduces the sensation of pain which then leads to an increased injury risk. Feet are at high risk for diabetes patients.

The risk of sustaining dangerous wounds is enhanced by the fact that wound healing usually is clearly impaired because of disturbed blood circulation. 

A special role in the prevention of are socks. Socks should always be comfortable to wear and not have internal seams. Softness and a flat toe seam are a basic requirement. Our Diabetic Copper-Based Classic Socks offer these features.

The Australian patented copper infused threading has been specially designed for medical care. The natural anti-microbial properties of the essential mineral actively fight against bacteria and fungi and prevent foot odour and infection.
