Nearly 21 million Americans are afflicted with diabetes. For diabetics, there's more to life than just managing blood sugar. It's also about maintaining
an active lifestyle. Without proper foot care, it is almost impossible to maintain the level of activity necessary and recommended for a diabetic's well
being.
Whether it's ensuring mobility, protection, or comfort, people with diabetes have special needs when it comes to choosing proper footwear. Because of
the disease, a diabetic's feet and legs are at a high risk for loss of sensation (neuropathy), reduced circulation, delayed wound healing, and
infection. These potential complications can lead to serious health care complications. Specially designed SmartKnit® Seamless Diabetic Socks are the
first layer of protection against wounds and infection.
SmartKnit® Seamless Diabetic Socks are designed for performance and prevention. The seam-free design protects the feet by helping reduce the risk of
skin irritations and diabetic foot ulcers. The patented form-fitting design ensures that the socks fit like a second skin---they don't wrinkle or
bunch. The stretchable Halo Top (no binding elastic band) helps prevent the socks from cutting into the leg, causing painful indentations. High-tech
CoolMax® or X-STATIC® fibers wick-away moisture helping to ensure a drier and more hygienic sock environment. X-STATIC® silver fibers further help reduce
odor-causing bacteria and athlete's foot fungus.
