Diabetic Footwear: The New Accessory to support healing diabetic issues

1. Lermagazine - Diabetic Footwear: The New Accessory to support healing diabetic issues goodreads.com/story/show/1314161 Diabetic footwear is often referred to as sugar shoes or therapeutic shoes. They are specifically designed shoes, or shoe insoles, designed to minimize the risk of nerve damage in diabetics already suffering from pre-existing foot problems. These shoes, which are available in both men’s and women’s styles, are designed to help diabetics maintain their health by decreasing pain in their feet, improving circulation, and increasing their foot movement. All diabetic footwear needs to be flexible, lightweight, and durable, while still being comfortable. Footwear made specifically for diabetics will also need to have a foot support system built into the design. The best footwear for diabetics is made of either rubber or mesh, with the rubber being the most common material. However, since a large number of diabetics do not wear orthotics, diabetic shoes that use rubber are not as comfortable as those that are designed with an orthotic in the design. Many diabetics prefer diabetic shoes that do not have laces, but instead, have the straps run through the front of the shoe. This eliminates the possibility of slipping over and off the foot, as well as the possibility of causing damage to the skin. Another benefit of the non-lace style is the added benefit of being able to take the shoes off when you get a foot massage. When there is too much pressure on the foot, the skin can tear easily, causing irritation and possibly even infection. A better alternate way compared to the orthotics For diabetics who do wear orthotics, diabetic shoes that have Velcro closures or adjustable straps make it easy to take the shoes off. In addition, diabetic shoes with padded, latex-like soles are particularly helpful. Padded soles make walking, standing, and even dancing easier because they prevent damage to the foot. Furthermore, since these shoes are designed to support the foot, they are often breathable, allowing air to pass through and allowing the skin to breathe. This helps to prevent discomfort in the affected foot, especially during long periods of standing, walking, or moving around in the footwear. Although diabetic shoes generally have a wide range of support, some do not feature the full range of features necessary to be able to provide optimum support to the foot. Some footwear designed for diabetics will only feature an arch support system. There are shoes available for those diabetics who are unable to obtain a custom fit shoe, as well as those who do not suffer from foot problems. Most athletic trainers, running shoes, and basketball shoes, for example, are not meant to be worn by diabetics who suffer from foot problems, but many orthotic shoes are designed with features designed to give support, even to diabetics who can still wear normal shoes. 1/2
