  1. What You Need To Know About Diabetic Socks For Men Diabetic socks for diabetic men usually come in durable cotton or wool socks with elastic edges. They are designed to be comfortable and protect the foot from irritation caused by dry, cracked feet. It is important that diabetic socks for men have excellent absorbing qualities since they are prone to absorption of excessive moisture from the soles of the feet due to their frequent contact with water. This makes it important that you get socks that are made of breathable fabric and those with elastic edges to provide a snug fit. The socks should also have a good circulation of air within the entire area to help keep the feet comfortable. Proper circulation of air helps relieve tightness and heat within the feet and prevents heat and cold from penetrating the body through the feet. This helps reduce symptoms such as leg cramps, sweaty palms, chafed skin and foot ulcers. Since circulation problems cause most foot problems for diabetics, they can improve circulation through the use of diabetic compression socks. These socks are also beneficial in preventing loss of blood through the feet by reducing peripheral resistance. Poor circulation in the legs causes swelling and edema. This causes pain and discomfort. This can also cause a poor blood flow, which further increases a person's risk for developing diabetes. If left untreated, diabetes can progress from mild to severe. However, the earlier treatment for diabetic socks for men, such as socks with proper circulation properties, can reduce the progression of the disease. To avoid symptoms such as leg cramps, sweaty palms and foot ulcers, it is important that diabetics wear diabetic socks that offer protection against moisture and reduce friction on the soles of the feet. The socks should have proper breathability to allow proper ventilation. Proper circulation reduces inflammation and improves skin integrity. This also prevents itching and irritation caused by dry, cracked feet. For people who suffer from plantar fasciitis, a common foot injury caused by too much stress on the feet, the wearing of compression socks such as diabetic socks for men can be particularly helpful. Plantar fasciitis occurs

  2. when there is pressure on the heel bone caused by swollen calves that cause the foot to twist inward. By wearing a sock with good circulation properties, the blood flow around the foot increases, and the amount of pressure exerted on the heel bone is lessened. This reduces the pain of plantar fasciitis and prevents damage to the bones and the tissue. Diabetic stockings are another option to help diabetics improve circulation in the legs. They can be worn as thongs and look very similar to regular sneakers. Some companies make seamless diabetic socks for men, which help control weight since the socks are made out of seamless, breathable materials. The seamless material allows your feet to breathe and keeps moisture out.
